AN ACT relating to standardizing real property tax bills.

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 134 to require use of a standardized form for all real property tax bills; require the Department of Revenue to prescribe the form and make it available to all taxing districts that levy a property tax on real property; specify provisions to be included on the form; exempt certificates of delinquency and third-party purchasers from the form requirements.

Plain-language summary

This bill would require all Kentucky property tax bills to use a single standardized form designed by the Department of Revenue, rather than allowing each taxing district to create its own format. The goal is to make property tax bills more consistent and easier for property owners to understand across the state. Certificates of delinquency and third-party debt purchasers would not be subject to these new form requirements. Who it may affect: real property owners, local taxing districts, county clerks, and sheriffs who collect and process property tax payments.
