Local offices
Use the address, bill, deed, or notice when you call. The PVA handles assessments, the Sheriff handles current property-tax bills, the County Clerk handles land records and delinquent-tax information, and court-sale searches follow a separate route.
Fayette County · property assessment and property records
Ask the PVA about an assessed value, assessment record, or parcel record. An assessment is not a payoff balance or a title determination.
101 East Vine Street, Suite 600, Lexington, KY 40507 · 859-246-2722.
Fayette County · current property-tax bills and payment status
Use the Sheriff’s Property Tax Division for a current property-tax bill or payment/status question. For a delinquent bill, contact the County Clerk instead.
150 N. Limestone, Room 236, Lexington, KY 40507 · 859-252-1771.
Fayette County · recorded deeds, land records, and document recording
Use the Clerk for land-record research and recording questions about deeds and other recorded property documents. The Clerk also publishes delinquent-tax information; that is separate from the Sheriff’s current-bill service and the PVA’s assessments.
162 E. Main Street, Room 132, Lexington, KY 40507 · 859-253-3344.
Fayette County · probate pleadings and judicial orders when routed to this division
For an estate matter routed to Fayette County, the Probate Division handles probate pleadings and judicial orders. The house address alone does not determine where a case is routed or who has authority to sign.
Robert F. Stephens District Courthouse, 150 N. Limestone, Suite D-112, Lexington, KY 40507 · 859-246-2242.
Fayette County · search and contact route for court-ordered property sales
Use the Master Commissioner’s site to search for local court-ordered property sales or find its contact details. Cross-check a sale’s case status against official court records; a sale listing is not a substitute for the case record.
201 E. Main Street, Suite 770, Lexington, KY 40507 · 859-246-2127.
Lexington-Fayette · local property-maintenance and ordinance questions across Fayette County
Contact Code Enforcement about a property-maintenance, nuisance, or code notice. Use the address and notice when asking which local rule or next step applies to the property.
A Kentucky sale cost
The state rule identifies who owes the tax and how it is collected; the title company can confirm the amount and whether an exemption applies to your transaction.
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value, or any fraction of $500. State law makes the grantor—the seller—responsible for the tax. The value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over, and the County Clerk collects the tax before the deed can be recorded. Recording fees are separate.
Some transfers are exempt. Ask the title company to confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale and to show the transaction figures. 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.
