The Jefferson County PVA is preparing for 2022 property assessments. If you are receiving this email you are a Metro Council representative in one of the reassessment areas. The 2022 property reassessment will encompass MLS areas 6,8 and 9. The reassessment is required by law.
Increasing public understanding of property assessments and the right to appeal is a top priority of the PVA's mission: to provide fair and equitable assessments with best-in-class customer service.
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. We do our best to determine accurate median property value for comparable homes, but we 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. We will be hosting nine hybrid community meetings in March and April for each of the areas affected by the 2022 reassessment. These will be in person and virtual to reach as many people as possible. Your help to share information and drive attendance at our public meeting is extremely important because the first step of the appeals process in 2022 is available from April 22nd to May 16th.

Agency issues urgent plea to community to help reduce the kennel population
Louisville, Ky. (March 4, 2022) – Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) announces the
shelter is operating at maximum capacity and takes proactive steps to reduce the kennel
population by waiving adoption fees for large dogs and including a free dog crate; and waiving
redemption fees for all unclaimed pets.
“LMAS has worked very hard to maintain its status as a No Kill Shelter for time and space,” said
Ashley Book, interim shelter director. “We’re asking owners who are searching for a missing pet
to visit the shelter. If you are planning to add a new four-legged friend to your family, make
Animal House Adoption Center your first stop.”
Adoption fees are waived for approved adopters of adult dogs, 40lbs. or more, thanks Pay It
Forward Free Adoptions Program. Adopters of large dogs will also receive a free dog crate
through March 31.
Spay-Neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included. Approved adopters can also foster-toadopt select adoptable dogs. Adoption fees are waived but there is still a review and approval
process. Jefferson County residents must also purchase a one-year, renewable pet, a
requirement of the Louisville Metro Animal Ordinance. LMAS’ Animal House Adoption Center is
located at 3516 Newburg Road. Walk-ins are welcome from 12-6pm daily.
Redemption fees are waived for unclaimed pets through March 15th. Owners can claim their
impounded pet Monday-Saturday from 12-6pm, at the LMAS Harshaw Family Foundation
Shelter, located at 3528 Newburg Road. Redemption fees will only be waived for pet owners
with no previous violations, and cover microchipping, spay-neuter, licensing and vaccination
fees. Court fees will not be waived. LMAS will work with owners who have outstanding balances
and want to reclaim their pet.
To view adoptable pets at LMAS or stray pets currently at the shelter, visit
louisvilleky.gov/animalservices.
At the start of his administration, Mayor Greg Fischer pledged to replace the city’s only open
intake shelter, which had operated for decades as a high-kill shelter. Today, with the opening of
a state-of-the-art Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter in 2019 and Alley Cat Advocates
headquarters in 2020, all the city’s animal-related services are located on one campus on
Newburg Road, where residents can adopt a pet, purchase or renew a pet license or take a
stray pet. In 2017, LMAS qualified as a No Kill Shelter for time and space for the first time,
achieving a 92.8% live release rate for animals that entered the shelter. LMAS’ live release rate
increased to 94.99% in 2021, and it continues its status as a No Kill Shelter for time and space
Middletown Fire Department has expanded the number of fire functions and need this parking space for their vehicles. They have been wonderful partners but as of March 31, 2022 they will no longer have the recycling dumpsters at their location.

March 31, 2022 – BBB warns that text messages from unknown numbers with photos of a young woman are making the rounds nationwide, and several local consumers have reported being targeted by this scam.
The text messages all begin in a similar manner – the sender claims to have met the recipient before and wishes to meet up. The texts contain photos, usually of a young blonde or redheaded woman (see attached). When the recipient replies, the sender pretends to have accidentally texted the wrong number but continues to send messages.
BBB warns consumers that these supposed wrong number texts are coming from chat bots, and it is best not to respond. By responding, the recipient inadvertently confirms their phone number is valid, which could lead to scammers selling their number to advertisers. Scammers also use chat bots to attempt to gain personal and/or financial information from victims.
BBB offers the following tips to avoid chat bot scams:
- Ignore texts from strangers. Strangers on the internet can pretend to be anyone. Question motives behind both solicited and unsolicited messages. If you receive a text from someone you don’t know, don’t reply. It’s the safest route. If you engage with a scammer, even briefly, they will mark your number as active, and you could receive even more shady texts in the future.
- Block numbers that appear to come from scammers. Unsolicited texts that look like they come from a chat bot or that ask you to click on suspicious links are probably not safe. Block these numbers to prevent scammers from contacting you through them again.
- Never give your personal information to strangers. Never share your credit card or banking information, your full name, home address, or social security number with someone you never met in person. Remember that any photo you upload on social media can be stolen and used by a scammer.
ABOUT BBB: For more than 100 years, the Better Business Bureau has been helping people find businesses, brands and charities they can trust. In 2020, people turned to BBB more than 220 million times for BBB Business Profiles on 6.2 million businesses and Charity Reports on 11,000 charities, all available for free at BBB.org. The International Association of Better Business Bureaus is the umbrella organization for the local, independent BBBs in the United States, Canada and Mexico. BBB Serving Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Western Kentucky was founded in 1916 and serves 44 counties in Kentucky and 8 counties in Southern Indiana.
If you are going to be out of town, take advantage of our House Watch program at the Jeffersontown Police Department. Come to the station located 10410 Taylorsville Rd and fill out a House Watch form. Remember try not to post on social media photos of your vacation until your back in town.
Headed out to the ballpark this spring. Don’t leave items visible in your vehicles. Criminals target these parking lots. Try and leave valuable things at home, so you don’t become a victim.
MAKE SURE YOU LOCK UP YOUR CAR AND SHUT YOUR GARAGE.

The Louisville Zoo is celebrating several hatchings this month. Two waldrapp ibis were hatched in late February. This species is considered one of the most endangered birds in the world. This is the first time the Zoo has celebrated waldrapp ibis hatchings in four years. The Zoo has been a longtime member of the Waldrapp Ibis Species Survival Plan (SSP) with 18 ibis chicks being hatched since 1993. The recent pairings were also a part of this SSP breeding plan. There are only 23 Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) organizations that exhibit this species.
Additionally, four Inca tern chicks have hatched. This is the first time Louisville Zoo has bred this species. The four chicks are from two different pairs of birds.
The waldrapp Ibis are currently nesting in their exhibit in the giraffe house. Guests may get a glimpse of the chicks when the parents are feeding them. The genders of each bird are currently not known and will be determined once they’ve fledged (around 40 – 50 days).
The Inca terns are presently inside a nest box in the exhibit they share with the African penguins. Guests will be able to see them again after they are fully fledged (about 30 days) in late April. The genders of the Inca terns are also not known at this time and will be determined once fully fledged.
About Waldrapp Ibis and Inca Terns
Waldrapp ibis or northern bald ibis are considered endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. They weigh about 8 – 10 lbs. and are 27 – 47 inches long. Once widespread across Northern Africa and Europe, they have now been reduced to two small populations in Morocco, Africa. The wild populations number only a few hundred individuals.
Inca terns’ status on the IUCN Red List of Threatened species is listed as near threatened with their population decreasing. They can be found Pacific Coasts and coastal islands of South America from the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador south to Valdivia, and Chile near harbors, on rocky shores and sandy beaches. They are about 16 inches long.

About the Louisville Zoo
Since 2011, under Mayor Fischer’s administration, the Louisville Zoo celebrated its 50th anniversary, opened nine new exhibits and attractions, and won national awards for Glacier Run and School at the Zoo. Considered Kentucky’s most popular not-for-profit paid attraction, the Zoo welcomed nearly 9 million guests in the last decade. In 2021, the Zoo was voted “Best Place to Take Kids in Summer,” by LEO Weekly, “Best Kid-Friendly Attraction” by Kentucky Living Magazine and Boo at the Zoo made the Top 10 Halloween Festivals list by thetravel.com. Community Access Memberships, deep-discount days, the Future Healers Got Zoo Buddies partnership and the accessible playground are among prime efforts to make Louisville Zoo even safer, more engaging, and more inclusive. Among the Louisville Zoo’s most successful conservation programs, the black-footed ferret breeding effort produced 1,100 kits and repatriated more than 800 of these most highly endangered, American mammals to the wild.
The Louisville Zoo, a non-profit organization and state Zoo of Kentucky, is dedicated to bettering the bond between people and our planet by providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for visitors, and leadership in scientific research and conservation education. The Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

I-Move Kentucky (I-64 / I-71 / I-265): Find out the latest project updates here: https://i-moveky.com/.
Sherman Minton Bridge (I-64 & US 150 over the Ohio River between Louisville, KY, and New Albany, IN): Find out the latest project updates here: https://shermanmintonrenewal.com/.
I-65 South: Left lane temporarily closed at mile marker 136, just south of the Kennedy Bridge. The lane was initially closed on March 4 after the elevated roadway bridge was severely damaged by a coil of steel that fell off a semitrailer. After multiple inspections, it was determined that the lane would remain closed for the safety of the motoring public. It’s not an active construction zone. Engineers are working on a repair, but there is no completion date set for the project.
I-264 East (Watterson Expressway): Lane closures and delays are possible on Thursday, March 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. between Bardstown Road (U.S. 150) and Breckenridge Lane (KY 1932). Crews will be working in the two right lanes of the expressway to complete a concrete repair. Motorists should heed signage and use caution while moving through the work zone.
I-265 South (Gene Snyder Freeway): Left lane on the exit ramp to Westport Road and Chamberlain Lane (exit 32) was closed in January 2021 after a vehicle struck the overpass. The left lane will remain closed until a repair can be made. Funding for repair has been secured; the project has been awarded. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2022.
U.S. 31E (Buechel Bypass): Right lane closure over the Norfolk Southern Railroad (mile point 10.4) due to findings from a routine inspection in 2021. It’s not an active construction zone, and the affected area isn’t visible while driving over the bridge. KYTC has secured the money and has a signed agreement with the railroad to perform the necessary repair work. We anticipate the project will go out to bid this spring. Once the contractor is selected, they will need to get a separate agreement with the railroad. There is no completion date set for the project at this time. Motorists can use Bardstown Road as a detour.
KY 1450 (Blue Lick Road): Roadway will be closed from 7 a.m. April 2 to 7 p.m. April 10 from Preston Highway (KY 61) to South Park Road. The closure is to relocate utilities (gas, electric, communications, etc.) within the road widening project. Contractors will also take advantage of the closure to work ahead of schedule and construct a temporary road surface in one part of the construction zone. Traffic will be shifted onto this temporary surface when KY 1450 reopens as the widening project progresses.Motorists will have access to homes and businesses, but KY 1450 will be blocked at Fishpool Creek, located between Foreman and Altair lanes. Electronic message boards alerting motorists of the scheduled closure will be installed this week. Motorists should follow this posted detour starting April 2: KY 61 to South Park Road and vice versa. Within the project limits at other locations, motorists can expect weekday lane closures between Gene Snyder and Preston Highway for road widening work. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2023.
