INSPECTION PERIOD FOR THE PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT ROLL

The Hart County real property tax roll will be opened for inspection from July 6 through July 20, 2020. Under the supervision of the property valuation administrator or one of the deputies, any person may inspect the tax roll. This is the January 1, 2020, assessment on which state, county and school taxes for 2020 will be due in November of 2020. The tax roll is in the office of the property valuation administrator located at 118 E Union Street, Munfordville, KY and may be inspected between the hours of 8-4 Monday through Friday and by appointments on Saturday July 11 and July 18. Inspections can be conducted remotely. Please call the office for instructions at 270-5 24-2321. 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. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, conferences may be held via videoconference, where available, email, telephone or fax. Documentation supporting your opinion of value will continue to be required; however, you will receive specific instructions on the best method to submit your documentation after contacting our office about your intention to have a conference. 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. Your appeal must be filed with the county clerk’s office no later than one workday following the conclusion of the inspection period. Please contact the county clerk’s office to receive instructions on the method that office is using to accept appeals this year and to obtain a form that can be used to file your appeal. 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 Claims Commission.

This started with awarding dual-credit scholarships for stu-dents to take college classes during high school. Last year, it expanded to include support for vocational exams and equipment in the new vocational school. This year, they added a scholarship for a graduating senior.
