The online conference appeal program is easy, practical and user friendly. The Online Conference Appeal program enhances our delivery of services to the community by simplifying the appeal process and creating a more expeditious process for property owners, “says Tony Lindauer, Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator. Property Owners that disagree with their 2015 assessment must provide documentation to support their opinion of value and file the online conference appeal form at www.jeffersonpva.ky.gov
“This is a great example of how the Jefferson County PVA office is working hard to streamline services for the community.” The neighborhood sales research tool located on the PVA website @ www.jeffersonpva.ky.gov is available free of charge during the Open Inspection Period (KRS 133.045 which ends on May 18th at 4:00 p.m.
The PVA premium service website service is available free of charge year round at all Louisville Free Public Libraries.
Section 172 of the KY Constitution requires Section 172 of the Kentucky Constitution requires the PVA to assess all property at 100% Fair Cash Value, as of the assessment date January 1st, unless specifically exempted. Fair Cash Value, or fair market value, is defined as the price a property would bring at a fair and voluntary sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither party under duress, given a reasonable amount of time on the market. The PVA does not set market value. Our task is to analyze the market and insure that assessments of unsold properties follow the market determined by buyers and sellers.
