The District received net assessment growth and tax rates from the Department of Property Taxation and Department of Education, as calculated under KRS 134.590(7), 147.440, 160.470 and 160.463 for the 2026-27 school year. The current rates are 79.8 cents per $100 for real estate and 83.0 cents per $100 for personal property. KRS 160.470 outlines the annual process by which local boards of education adopt property taxes. Additionally, under KRS 132.0225, unless a board adopts a rate exceeding the 4% threshold (excluding exonerations), it must adopt its property rate within 45 calendar days of receiving the Department of Revenue’s property assessment certification. It is important to note that the Tentative Budget, previously approved by the Board, was developed under the assumption that the 4% rate would be adopted for the FY 2026-27 fiscal year. The following table lists the certified tax rates per $100 assessed valuation, which may be levied for FY 2026-27. The administration recommends adopting the 4% rate which is a decrease from prior year.
