State sets property tax rate at 12.4 centers per $100 A ColumbiaMagazine.com G0-back, Read, Re-Read, Print and Pass Around Story: The HOOP Story From Commonwealth (State) News Service The Kentucky Department of Revenue has set the 2007 State Real Property Tax Rate at 12.4 cents per each $100 of assessed value. KRS 132.020 requires the Department of Revenue to set the real property rate no later than July 1 of each year. This rate is based on the percentage increase of taxable real property from 2006 to 2007. If this increase is more than 4 percent after the exclusion of property newly added to the tax roll during 2007, then the prior year rate must be reduced to limit the revenue increase to 4 percent. Since the assessment increase for 2007 is estimated at 6.8%, the state rate must decline from 12.8 to 12.4 cents per $100 of assessed value. 2007-07-11 03:50:27 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for July 11 Happy Anniversary, Jamie and Elizabeth Head | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Kevin and Norma Jean Hoskins (1987) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Tiffany and Jason Collins | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Tony and Melissa Bragg (1987) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Beverly Smith | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Herschel Harmon (1940) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jackie Tucker | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jackstin Cooper Stang (2018) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Justin Spencer (2003) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kyler Chase Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mark Allen Fudge | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nicholas Boils (1998) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Riley Harrison (2010) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Rylee Gilbert (2002) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sam DeRossett (1988) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Walter Blankenship, Jr. | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthdays, brothers and sister, Bill Janes, Herbert Janes, Frieda Janes Smith | (Updates/Corrections) In Memoriam Bro.
