Property Taxes

If you have not received your tax bill by the second week of October, please contact our office at 859-885-9512 and a duplicate tax bill will sent to you. You may also print a copy of your tax bill from our website. Please note failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you of your obligation to pay taxes on the property nor waive the penalties for a late payment.
