Commencement exer- date for real property is January 1 as required by KRS 132.220.
REAL ESTATE: Farms, homes, houses and lots, mobile homes, vacant land and Commercial buildings.
Anyone who has built a new structure or made an addition, deletion, or improvement to an existing struc-
ture on their property during the preceding year should list that.
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION:Persons who are eligible for the Homestead Exemption for 2015 should
come into our office and apply anytime during the year. If you are currently drawing the exemption because
of your age you do not need to reapply. The exemption for this tax year is $36,900.
Were you born in 1950or before? Are you classified as totally disabled from any retirement agency? Apply
for the homestead exemption and save approximately $308 on your tax bill. If you live in the Marion area,
you would save approximately $85 more off of your city tax bill. These estimates are based on 2014 tax
rates and may vary depending on what local taxing jurisdictions adopt in 2015. You must live in Crittenden
County and own property here to qualify in our county for this exemption. If you are already receiving the
disability exemption, you will need to reapply for this benefit annually. DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOUR
BIRTHDAY or until the tax bills have been printed, come in now for this benefit.
The Revenue Cabinet, Frankfort, KY, from motor vehicle registration assesses all MOTOR VEHICLES
AND BOATS. 2015 motor vehicle and boat taxes will be paid to the County Clerk when the vehicle is reli-
censed for 2015. The assessment shall be due if not protested in writing, along with supporting documen-
tation to the Revenue Cabinet within forty-five (45) days from the date of notice. January 1 is the assess-
ment date.
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY: The filing date is January 1 through May 15. This would
include merchant’s inventories, shop tools, construction and office equipment, airplanes, etc. All tangible
property tax returns postmarked after May 16 will be forwarded to the Revenue Cabinet omitted for billing
with 10% penalty as required by KRS 132.290. Intangible returns are no longer required.
The Property Valuation Administrator (PVA)does not have any authority in setting property tax rates
and does not collect any taxes. With the exemption of the State rate, local citizens that are on the govern-
ing bodies of local taxing jurisdictions set all property tax rates.
The Mission of the PVA Officeis to provide accurate assessments and efficient services to property own-
ers or anyone utilizing the PVA office records and administer the statutes of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky in a fair and impartial manner.
If you buy or sell property during the year we make every effort to get it to the right person at the right
address. WE DO NOT SPLIT ANY TAX BILL THAT SELLS DURING THE YEAR. We assess all prop-
erty as of January 1st. We will use the address on the deed UNTIL NOTIFIED IN WRITING OTHER-
WISE..
FIRE DUES:Two years ago a fire fee of $30 was added to your bill. The ordinance by the fiscal court
states that each owner shall get one fee due. If you own property with another individual on a separate
property you will get an additional fee for that bill. You have a chance to opt of this in the Critt Co Judge
Executive’s Office. The PVA does not have the authority to exonerate this unless it is a clerical error and
all bills are subject to audit. If you feel you need an exception you need to get that in writing from your
local fire chief or opt out. The PVA Office does NOT decide who should or should not pay this. Opting out
must be done annually.
State Law requires that every property be physically examined every four years. This year we will be
reviewing the city of Marion.
Our regular office hours are 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. If you have a special need and
can’t come when our office is open; call our office at [phone] and I will be happy to make an
appointment to meet your needs.
