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.

BBB Hot Topics April 2022

BBB

Beware of a “wrong number” text scam. Consumers report receiving texts that include photos of a young woman who attempts to start a conversation. This is a phishing scam using bots and stolen photos to gain your personal and financial information. Do not reply and block the number!

BBB continues to receive numerous reports from consumers regarding fake LG&E calls. Scammers are spoofing LG&E’s phone number. LG&E will never call you and demand payment over the phone to prevent service disruption. If in doubt, contact LG&E directly.

Receive a suspicious call from American Express? A consumer reports a “company representative” called, saying his card was used to purchase thousands of dollars in illegal material. The only way to decline the charge was to make an equal amount of purchases in gift cards so that AMEX could decline both charges. This is a scam! Hang up and call the company directly if you have any questions.

A consumer reported a suspicious text message from Fifth Third Bank, advising a charge had posted to his account. If he didn’t recognize the charge, he could click a link to dispute it. This is a scam. Never click on links in text messages from suspicious or unknown senders. Contact your bank directly to confirm the status of your account.

A local consumer responded to a job posting on Facebook and was instructed to download the Telegram Messenger app to complete the job interview process. The consumer was asked to provide personal information, including their social security number, photos of their ID, and bank information. BBB warns consumers to be wary of any job interview process that requires you to 1) download an app and 2) provide your personal information upfront. Always research companies first when applying for jobs.

A local consumer received a text message purporting to be from a Powerball jackpot winner, claiming they wished to share their winnings with random lucky recipients. This is a phishing scam. Do not click on any links, and do not send your personal information if you receive a similar text.

BBB continues to receive reports from consumers regarding Publisher’s Clearing House scams. As a reminder, the real Publisher’s Clearing House does not notify winners by phone, and any “sweepstakes” company that claims you need to pay a fee upfront to claim your prize is a scam.

Scammers are taking advantage of people’s lack of knowledge when it comes to cryptocurrency and are luring victims into investment scams. Be wary of any cryptocurrency “investment opportunities” that seem too good to be true or promise immediate large returns.

Receive an emailed receipt for an iPhone that you didn’t purchase? Don’t respond! Scammers are hoping you’ll panic and contact them to dispute the purchase. This is a phishing scam!

As we enter the spring season, BBB warns consumers to use caution when hiring home improvement contractors, especially following a major storm, flood, or other weather event. Check bbb.org and ask for references before hiring any contractor.
