Understanding Your Tax Responsibilities in Kentucky

Property Taxes

In Kentucky, property tax rates are set by local governments and are based on the assessed value of the property. The Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) in each county assesses property values. Homeowners in Louisville can expect to pay property taxes that support local services such as schools, roads, and public safety. Kentucky also offers a homestead exemption for homeowners 65 years or older, significantly reducing their property tax burden.

State Income Tax

Kentucky has a flat state income tax rate, simplifying the tax structure for residents. All income is taxed at the same rate, regardless of the amount earned. Taxpayers may qualify for deductions, including property tax deductions and a credit for taxes paid to another state, if applicable.

Sales Tax

The state sales tax rate in Kentucky is applied to most retail purchases, including goods and certain services. Louisville does not add any additional local sales taxes on top of the state rate. Certain items, like prescription drugs and groceries, are exempt from sales tax, which can benefit homeowners.
