Local records and offices
Property valuation, a transfer-tax payment tied to a deed, unpaid taxes, and a court judgment are not the same record. Use the property address and the notice or case information you already have when you contact an office or closing professional.
Franklin County · property valuation
For a question about a property’s assessed value, use the county PVA contact page. A valuation question is different from checking an unpaid tax balance, a deed, or a court judgment.

Kentucky law says the county clerk collects real estate transfer tax before a deed can be recorded. Use the official county clerk link for county contact information; ask the title company which deed and tax items apply to your sale.
Franklin County Clerk ↗For an unpaid-tax balance or a court judgment, use the bill, notice, or case information—not the PVA valuation page. Ask the title company to identify the property-specific records and follow the court or office named on any notice.
Kentucky sale rule
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500. State law assigns the tax to the seller and says the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. The taxable value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers may be exempt, so ask the title company to confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale and show the transaction’s figures. Recording fees are a separate charge from the transfer tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. That does not pay the seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Start with the Franklin County Property Valuation Administrator for an assessed-value or property-valuation question. The PVA contact page is not a confirmation of unpaid taxes, deed records, or court judgments.
Use the current bill, notice, or case information rather than the PVA valuation page. A tax balance, deed record, and court judgment are different records. For a sale-specific balance or title question, ask the title company to identify what applies to the property; follow the court or office named on any notice you received.
