Property Tax Increase Proposed To Remain The Same For 2023-24 Fiscal Year in Daviess County, Kentucky

The commissioners of Daviess County in Kentucky proposed the property tax increase to remain the same for the fiscal year of 2023-24. Nonetheless, the county will receive more revenues due to the increases in the value of properties.

On the evening of August 10, the officials of the Daviess County in the state of Kentucky held the first reading of their tax rate ordinance. Further reports say the officials introduced a proposal to keep the property tax increase the same for real estate at 13 cents per $100 of the assessed value.

According to Mayse, this suggests that the commissioners of the Daviess County proposed that the property tax increase remains the same for the fiscal year of 2023 to 2024. Nonetheless, although the proposed property tax increase will remain the same, the Daviess County will still receive more revenue from property taxes due to the increases in the value of the real estate properties.
