I bought my house in July for less than what the tax bill says. Why do I have to pay the higher amount?

Real estate values are determined as of the assessment date, January 1 of each year. If you purchased your home after January 1 for a lesser value than that on the tax bill, please contact our office at 859-391-1750. We may be able to adjust your value for the following year.
