Appeal Process
2012 ASSESSMENT APPEAL APRIL 16-MAY 21, 2012
Under state law (KRS 133.120) property owners who wish to appeal their assessment must first hold a conference with the PVA Office during the annual Open Inspection Period (OIP). Each year the OIP begins on the first Monday in May and continues for a thirteen day period including two Saturdays.
This year’s OIP will begin on May 7, 2012 and close on May 21, 2012. Due to the size of Jefferson County the appeal period will begin April 16, 2012. The last day to submit an appeal to the PVA Office is May 21, 2012 by 4:00 p.m. EDT. By law, the PVA Office is not authorized to accept appeals via personal visits to our office or online appeal submissions after May 21, 2012.
If you feel your assessment is not correct due to a clerical error or as the result of incorrect property characteristics please inform us. If you received a 2012 assessment notice, please make your property characteristic changes on the bottom portion of your notice, sign it and return it to us via mail or fax. If a correction is made that decreases your 2012 assessment a revised notice will be issued. If a correction is made that increases your assessment, the increase will affect your 2013 assessment.
Please call the PVA Office at (502) 574-6224 to schedule a conference or complete our online appeal form. If you do not have access to the internet, the service is available free of charge on terminals located in our office beginning Monday April 16, 2012 8:30am-3:00pm until Monday May 21, 2012 8:30am-3:00pm. PVA’s online appeal service will also be available at all 18 branches of the Louisville Free Public Library.
