Thank you to the Kenton County property owners who contacted our office during this year’s assessment review period.

The inspection and appeal process is an important part of ensuring property owners have the opportunity to review their information, ask questions, and better understand their assessment.

Our office remains available year-round to assist our property owners with any questions.

(Property owners may appeal their assessment any year, every year, not just the year of an increase.)

Did you know you can get a complimentary sketch of your home through the PVA?

Accurate square footage is essential to our property assessment process, as it helps us compare your home with recent sales of similar properties.

To assist you, the PVA offers complimentary exterior sketches of your home. These sketches provide an estimate of your living area’s square footage.

Please note:

•Sketches are based on exterior measurements only
•Availability may vary depending on property type

To request your sketch, please contact Darlene Plummer at [email protected]

June is National Homeownership Month!

This is a great time to review your property information.

If you’ve recently bought a home, made updates, changed your mailing address, or have questions about your property record, the Kenton County PVA Office is here to help.

Keeping accurate information on file helps ensure property records remain as up to date as possible.

Did you know your property assessment and your tax bill are not the same thing?

The PVA Office determines the assessed value of property. Tax rates are set by local taxing districts, and tax bills are handled separately.

Understanding the difference can help property owners feel more confident when reviewing their property information.

Questions? Contact our Office — we’re happy to help point you in the right direction!

(Assessment increases do not have the same percentage impact on your taxes. Visit www.KCOR.org to obtain an estimate of your tax bills.)

Fairness is ALWAYS our goal.

Before assessments are finalized, they are reviewed and approved by the Kentucky Department of Revenue to ensure they reflect the market.

Our job is to keep assessed values in line with actual market sales—not to raise or lower taxes.

What the PVA DOES vs. DOES NOT do:

✔️ Assess property at fair market value
✔️ Track ownership and property details
✔️ Maintain records and maps
✔️ Administer exemptions

❌ We do NOT set your tax rate
❌ We do NOT send your tax bill
- These responsibilities belong to the taxing jurisdictions

Our focus is accuracy, fairness, and transparency.

Did You Know? We don’t “pick” your property value.

By Kentucky law, the PVA is required to assess all property at 100% fair market value—what your home would sell for on the open market.

We are also required to physically review properties on a set cycle and follow state guidelines.

We are bound by law to ensure fairness and consistency for all property owners.

"You raised my taxes". It's one of the most common misconceptions people have about the PVA.

The PVA does NOT
❌ Set tax rates
❌ Issue tax bills
❌ Collect taxes
❌ Make laws affecting property owners

Those responsibilities belong to the taxing jurisdictions—not our office. Contact your city, school, and county officials and express your concerns.

Our role is to ensure property is assessed fairly and accurately based on market value.
