2022 Property Valuation Assessment - All of District 23 to be Reassessed

The Jefferson County PVA is preparing for 2022 property assessments. The 2022 property reassessment will encompass MLS areas 6,8 and 9.  Area 6 includes all of District 23.  The reassessment is required by law.  

The role of the PVA is to fairly assess the value of all property.  This is an important part of the process to determine the taxes collected to fund our cities, school districts, and emergency services.  They do their best to determine accurate median property value for comparable homes, but don’t know every detail of all properties. The condition of a home could mean it falls substantially below or above the median value. 

The 2022 reassessment covers a very dense area. The PVA will be hosting nine hybrid community meetings in March and April for each of the areas affected by the 2022 reassessment.

Pets of the Week

Chico

Help a shelter dog get lucky. All large dog adoptions are free the month of March and include a free dog crate for approved adopters. Chico is an approximately five-year-old Weimaraner/Labrador Retriever mix who is a very friendly, mature adult who won’t mistake your remote for a chew toy. This laidback handsome fellow has been friendly with other shelter dogs and can be tested with potential fur siblings by request. A meet and greet is mandatory for families with children. Chico weighs about 70lbs. He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. For more info about Chico, email animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov. To meet or adopt Chico, visit Animal House Adoption Center located at 3516 Newburg Road, from 12:00-6:00pm daily. No appointment necessary.

Kessinger

This big guy doesn't throw his weight around because he's just one big scaredy paws. Kessinger, an approximately 3-year-old Rottweiler, isn't sure about a lot of things like new people, leashes, shots - but one thing he's never unsure about are vienna sausages. They've been the key to getting Kessinger to open up and trust shelter staff and now, Kessinger needs someone who understands his breed to adopt and give him a charmed life. Kessinger's adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter and a free dog crate is included, thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. Kessinger weighs 81 lbs. He's already neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Dog and cat testing are available by request. For more info about Kessinger, email animalservicesadoption@louisvilleky.gov. Meet Kessinger at Animal House Adoption Center (3705 Manslick Road) from 12:00-6:00pm daily.
