Assessed value, unpaid tax bills, deeds, and court judgments are different records. Start with the office that matches the question you have, and verify account or case details with that office.
Hardin County · property valuation and property records
Use the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) portal for assessed value and property-record questions. This is separate from paying a tax bill, recording a deed, or checking a court judgment.
PVA contact: 270-765-2129, listed in the Sheriff’s tax information.
Hardin County · tax-bill lookup and payment questions
Use the Sheriff’s Tax Information route to look up or pay a county tax bill. Verify the account and amount with the office; a property-value question belongs with the PVA.

Hardin County · recording and tax-sale information
Contact the County Clerk about recording routes and tax-sale information. Use the recording department for recorded deed questions; a deed record is not a court judgment or a tax-bill account.

Kentucky selling cost
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, which works out to about 0.1%. At a $100,000 sale price, the tax is $100. The seller—the grantor on the deed—owes it by law. The value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over, and the county clerk collects the tax before recording the deed.
Some transfers are exempt, including deeds under foreclosure, deeds between spouses, and certain transfers to government. Ask the title company to confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale. Recording fees are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those amounts are separate.
Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050 — real estate transfer tax ↗
