Local offices

Start with the office that matches the record

Louisville is in Jefferson County. Property valuation, deed recording, unpaid taxes, and court judgments are separate questions. Use the address and the bill, deed, or notice in front of you when contacting an office.

Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator (PVA)

Jefferson County · property valuation and parcel search

Start with the PVA property search for parcel and property-value information. Assessment records are separate from a deed, a current tax payoff, and a court judgment.

The offices above do not replace a property-specific title review. For unpaid taxes, start with the current bill or notice; for a judgment, use the court and case information on the court paper.

Kentucky sale rule

What to know about Kentucky real estate transfer tax

Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of sale value, or fraction of $500. The seller—the grantor named in the law—owes the tax, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate. Ask the title company to confirm the amount and whether an exemption applies to your sale.

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.

Louisville seller resource questions

Which office handles a Louisville-area property valuation or deed?

Use the Jefferson County PVA property search for parcel and property-value information. For land-record recording and indexing, including deeds, use the Jefferson County Clerk's Legal Records Division page. Those are different records and neither one alone confirms a current tax payoff or the effect of a court judgment on a sale.

Where should I start with unpaid property taxes or a court judgment?

For a tax balance, use the current property-tax bill or notice to identify the collecting office and ask about that parcel. For a court judgment, start with the court and case information on the judgment or notice. A title company can check how the records apply to a specific sale; an assessment search or deed index is not a substitute for that review.

How does Kentucky real estate transfer tax work when I sell?

Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of sale value, or fraction of $500. The seller (the grantor named in the law) owes the tax, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt and recording fees are separate, so ask the title company to confirm the figures and whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
