How will the 2020 Property Assessment Affect You?
The Jefferson County PVA, invites you to join them for a public presentation previewing the 2020 real estate property value reassessment to discuss the valuation process, the public’s right to appeal, and the appeals process. The role of the Jefferson County PVA is to fairly and equitably assess the value of all property. Assessments are an important component in determining property taxes, although the PVA office does not set tax rates or collect taxes.
The PVA office works hard to determine the accurate median property value for comparable homes, but they don’t have every detail about your home. The condition of a home could mean it falls substantially below or above the median value. That’s why it’s so important all property owners know about their right to an appeal.
Please join the PVA to learn more!
Date: Thursday March 12, 2020
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm
Location: St. Matthews Community Center - 310 Ten Pin Ln, Louisville, KY
