Find the right help for the question in front of you

Murray is the Calloway County seat, but city and county contacts handle different questions. For a tax balance or payment, the bill identifies the office that issued it.

Use the PVA for assessed value, the bill’s issuing office for a tax question, the County Clerk for a deed and the court contact for a judgment or court-file question. If you are weighing a sale, the local situation pages and calculator below can help you compare options. Call 888-274-5006 or send the property address through the form.

A Kentucky sale-cost rule

Kentucky real estate transfer tax

Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. State law makes the grantor, meaning the seller, responsible for the tax, and the county clerk collects it before the deed is recorded. The taxable value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over. Recording fees are separate.

Some transfers are exempt, including certain foreclosure deeds, deeds between spouses and certain transfers to government. Ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Call the Calloway County Property Valuation Administrator about assessed value, assessment records or a parcel record. The County lists the PVA at 101 South 5th Street, first floor, at 270-753-3482. The PVA handles valuation, not tax-bill payment or deed recording.

Where do I ask about an unpaid property-tax bill?

Use the payment office identified on the bill. Calloway County lists the Treasurer at 101 South 5th Street, first floor, at 270-753-4030; the City of Murray’s resident guide directs city tax questions to its Customer Service Center / Mayor’s Office. The bill shows which office issued that charge.

Where do I ask about a deed or a court judgment?

Who pays Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax?

Kentucky law assigns the real estate transfer tax to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate; ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
