This bill proposes a change to Kentucky's Constitution that would give residents the right to stop paying property taxes on their primary home and their primary vehicle, starting after the year 2028. Because it is a constitutional amendment, it cannot become law on its own — Kentucky voters would first need to approve it at the ballot box. If ratified, it could significantly reduce tax bills for homeowners and vehicle owners across the state. Who it may affect: Kentucky homeowners, vehicle owners, and local governments that rely on property tax revenue.
