Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would remove the state property tax that Kentuckians currently pay on their motor vehicles, starting January 1, 2027. It changes existing tax law so that cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles would no longer be subject to this particular state-level tax. Note that local property taxes on vehicles would not necessarily be affected, as the bill specifically targets the state portion. Who it may affect: Kentucky residents who own registered motor vehicles and currently pay the annual state property tax on them.
