PVA Reassessments have been mailed. You have a right to appeal until 4 P.M. on May 18th!

The 2026 reassessment covers MLS Areas 8 & 9, including areas in and around Prospect, Norton Commons, Glenview, Graymoor-Devondale, Anchorage, Lyndon, Hurstbourne, Douglass Hills, Middletown, Lake Forest and Polo Fields. If your property value changes, a full-color assessment notice on a large postcard that includes a photo of the property and information about the assessment appeal process will be mailed to you. New values will be posted on Jeffersonpva.ky.gov on April 24, 2026 at noon. If you believe the assessed value is not correct, The Jefferson County PVA wants you to know: You have a right to appeal. The mission of the PVA is to provide fair and equitable assessments for all property owners in Jefferson County. PVA staff works hard to get the value of our property correct. However, the PVA does not know every detail or condition of your property. If you believe the PVA assessed value does not represent the fair-market value of your property, you have a right to appeal your assessment.

The first step of the appeal process is to complete the PVA Online Conference which is available at www.jeffersonpva.ky.gov from April 24, 2026 at noon EDT, until May 18, 2026 at 4pm EDT. Most people prefer to complete the appeal using online self-service. However, if you need assistance with the Online Conference, PVA staff will be available and ready to assist you.

Middletown Lions Club 48th Annual Charity Golf Scramble & Silent Auction June 8th

While we primarily fundraise locally in the greater Louisville Areas, we generally support causes close to the Louisville Area.  However, portions of our funds are directed to causes in Kentucky, in the United States and we also support world causes such as funding support for medical missions to provide vision and other services throughout the world.

Our mission is to empower members of our club, volunteers and partners to improve health and wellbeing, strengthen communities, and support those in need through humanitarian services and donations that will impact lives locally, in our state, country and throughout the world.   Our areas of focus are Childhood Cancer, Diabetes, Disaster Relief, Environment, Humanitarian Efforts, Hunger, Vision, Youth.

As part of the Lions, we support the University of Louisville Eye Foundation and we perform eye screenings annually at the Kentucky State Fair as do other Lions Clubs from throughout Kentucky. 

We provide support to the Kentucky School for the Blind.  Twice a year, we provide vision screening for the workers at the backside of Churchill Downs.  We help provide exams and glasses for those individuals in need as well as other individuals in need in our community. These all-volunteer services are provided to both children and adults. 

Members of our Lions Club have hosted this event for 48 years and support the organizations listed below; this year we have chosen SPARC Hope - Single Parent Resource Center (https://www.sparc-hope.org ) as our major recipient for this year’s fundraising activities.   SPARC Hope, Single Parent Resource Center, founded in 2002 serves single parents who are struggling to make ends meet and who are willing to make the extra effort to help secure the future for themselves and their children.

Sign Up for Updates I-65 Closures

The I-65 Central Corridor Project is a major Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) initiative to replace aging interstate bridges and rehabilitate pavement between I-264 (Watterson Expressway) and Muhammad Ali Boulevard in downtown Louisville. Several bridges in this heavily traveled corridor are more than 60 years old and in poor condition, serving key destinations like UPS, Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, the Fair & Exposition Center, UofL, and the medical district.

Five miles of I-65 are scheduled to close between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street) early on Monday, June 1. It’s expected to reopen to reduced traffic on Saturday, Aug. 1. The closure is expected to begin by 12:01 a.m. that Monday.

A two-mile section of southbound I-65 is expected to reopen to two lanes of traffic by Wednesday, July 1. It stretches from University Boulevard to the Watterson Expressway (I-264). Reopening this section of roadway will reopen four ramps: Crittenden Drive on and off ramps and the on-ramps from Eastern Parkway and University Boulevard to southbound I-65.

During the closure, the I-65 bridges over Kentucky Street/Brook Street, Hill Street/CSX Railroad/Burnett Avenue, and Bradley Avenue near the fairgrounds will be replaced. All three bridges were constructed in the late 1950’s as part of the original construction of the interstate.The old structures will be removed, and new bridges will be built in their place. Sidewalks will be reconstructed and improved, and modernized lighting will be installed under and adjacent to the new bridges.

Residents, commuters, and businesses are strongly encouraged to stay informed. Sign up for email and text alerts and view detour maps at: https://i65centralcorridor.com/

Find more information about the I-65 Central Corridor project, including answers to frequently asked questions, at I65CentralCorridor.com. Project updates can be found on KYTC District 5 (D5) Facebook and X pages.

A message from the Water Company - Get Prepared for Outdoor Leak Season

Summertime is right around the corner, bringing higher temperatures and a spike in water usage. This season also brings a rise in undetected outdoor leaks that can add an average of $500 in excess charges to your water bill. Staying prepared and knowing how to find outdoor leaks is essential for both your home and your wallet.   Protect your home and avoid water waste by running through a few quick outdoor checks: Inspect hoses and spigots to ensure all connections are properly sealed. Check sprinklers for winter damage, test for broken heads or uneven sprays, and redirect them if they are watering unnecessary ground. Keep an eye out for expanded pipes, soggy ground, or water pooling. Evaluate swimming pools to identify faulty pump seals, broken pipes, or leaks at the filter or heater. Avoid paying for water you didn't use. For $3 a month added directly to your water bill, WaterPro Water Leak Protection Plansm protects you with up to $3,000 in coverage for qualifying leaks. This perfectly complements the home repair plans offered through our partner HomeServe, which cover the cost of physical plumbing repairs. Enjoy your summer without worrying about unexpected bills. Get ready for outdoor leak season by inspecting your home today, and enjoy a stress-free summer by enrolling in WaterPro. Learn more
