PVA Office Opening 2025 Property Tax Rolls For Inspection

Inspection Period Runs From June 2, 2025 until June 16 2025

Edmonson Voice Report:
Edmonson County taxpayers can assess the values of their properties each year, during a limited period before annual taxes are due.

This year's inspection period will run from June 2, 2025 until June 16 2025. Under the supervision of the property valuation administrator or one of the deputies, any person may inspect the tax roll.

"We encourage everyone to double check their assessment," said PVA Kyle White. "After this period closes, there can’t be any assessment changes to the tax roll.  That’s why it is so important to correct assessments now, not in the fall when people receive their tax bills. Once Edmonson County’s tax roll is certified by the Department of Revenue, there can be no assessment changes."
​
This is the January 1, 2025 assessment on which state, county, and school taxes for 2025 will be due on November 1, 2025.

The tax roll is in the office of PVA in the Edmonson County courthouse and may be inspected between the hours of 7:30am to 4:30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday (open until 5pm on Fri), and from 8:00am to 12 noon on Thursday and Saturday. 

Any taxpayer desiring to appeal an assessment on real property made by the PVA must first request a conference with the PVA or a designated deputy. The conference may be held prior to or during the inspection period. 

Any taxpayer still aggrieved by an assessment on real property, after the conference with the PVA or designated deputy, may appeal to the county board of assessment appeals.

The taxpayer can appeal his assessment by filing in person or sending a letter or other written petition stating the reasons for appeal, identifying the property and stating the taxpayer's opinion of the fair cash value of the property.

​The appeal must be filed with the county clerk's office no later than one work day following the conclusion of the inspection period. 

Any taxpayer failing to appeal to the county board of assessment appeals, or failing to appear before the board, either in person or by designated representative, will not be eligible to appeal directly to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.

Appeals of personal property assessments shall not be made to the county board of assessment appeals. Personal property taxpayers shall be served notice under the provisions of KRS 132.450(4) and shall have the protest and appeal rights granted under the provisions of KRS 131.110.

The following steps should be taken when a taxpayer does not agree with the assessed value of personal property as determined by the office of PVA.

(1)   Property owner must list under protest (for certification) what he believes to be the fair cash value of his               property.
(2) Property owner must file a written protest directly with the Department of Revenue, Office of Property                 Valuation within 30 days from the date of the notice of assessment.
(3) This protest must be in accordance with KRS 131.110.
(4) The final decision of the Department of Revenue may be appealed to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.

Homestead and Disability Exemptions The Homestead and Disability Exemption amount will stay the same this year (adjusted every other year) at a reduction of $49,100 to your assessment.  This is a savings of approximately $450.    This is the amount that comes off the top of the taxpayer’s assessment if they qualify.  To receive the exemption, they must be age 65 or 100% disabled for the entire year, own, and occupy the residence.
