Useful offices

Paducah and McCracken County resources: what each office handles

Match the office to the job: the PVA handles assessment, tax offices handle bills and collection, and the County Clerk records real-estate documents. A deed record is not a court judgment. Use the property address and the bill, deed, or notice in front of you when you call.

City of Paducah Finance Department — Revenue

City of Paducah · city property-tax billing and collection

McCracken County Clerk — real-estate records and delinquent-tax service

McCracken County · recorded real-estate documents and delinquent real-estate-tax routing

Use the County Clerk for recorded real-estate documents such as deeds. Its page separately lists a delinquent real-estate-tax number; that tax-service question is different from a PVA assessment or a court-judgment record. Verify the current routing and parcel or account status directly.

McCracken County Sheriff’s Office — county tax billing and collection

McCracken County · county real-estate and tangible-property tax billing and collection contact

The PVA identifies the Sheriff’s Office as a county tax billing and collection contact. Use the issuer shown on your bill or the County directory to confirm where to ask about a specific parcel; no balance or status is inferred here.

McCracken County Building and Electrical Inspection Department

McCracken County · building and electrical permit and inspection questions

Call about County building or electrical permits and inspections. Confirm whether the County or a City office has authority for the property address and proposed work.

633 Washington Street, Paducah, KY 42003 · 270-444-4724.

A Kentucky sale-cost rule

Check Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax before recording the deed

Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500, about 0.1%. The grantor—the seller—owes it under state law. The taxable 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.

Some transfers are exempt, including certain foreclosure deeds, deeds between spouses, and certain transfers to government. 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.

Paducah and McCracken County resource questions

How does Kentucky real estate transfer tax affect a sale?

Kentucky sets the tax at 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500, and the grantor—the seller—owes it under the statute. Some transfers are exempt and recording fees are separate, so ask the title company whether an exemption applies. 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.

Where can I compare sale options and local context?

Use the Paducah market report, 2026 seller guide, as-is sale-options article, process page, and home-sale net proceeds calculator linked above. A market measure is context, not a price for your particular house.
