Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it

All 120 counties' sheriffs collect on the single statewide schedule in KRS 134.015. Most counties in this state follow these dates.

A 5% penalty is added to taxes paid in January and 10% to taxes still unpaid after January 31, and the bill becomes a personal debt and lien.

The county sheriff mails bills in the fall after the Department of Revenue certifies the tax roll, opening the discount period that ends November 1.
