Taxes

property tax hopkins county

​A state sales tax is levied at the rate of 6% on the purchase or lease price of taxable goods and on utility services. Local sales taxes are not collected in Kentucky.
​
The Kentucky Constitution requires the state to tax all classes of taxable property, and state statutes allow local jurisdictions to impose only a few classes. All locally taxed property is subject to county taxes and school district tax (either a county school district or an independent school district). Property located inside city limits may also be subject to city property tax. Property assessments in Kentucky are at 100% fair cash value. Special local taxing jurisdictions (fire protection districts, watershed districts, and sanitation districts) levy taxes within their operating areas (usually a small portion of the community or county).
