Property Tax / Real Estate

The City of St. Matthews utilizes the yearly valuation figures provided by the Jefferson County Property Valuation Administration, (PVA), and also recognizes the Homestead Exemption available to property owners disabled or 65 years of age or older, provided the required documents are on file with the PVA. The homestead exemption rate is set by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is equal to the rate utilized by the Jefferson County tax program.

The St. Matthews City Council has made every effort to establish and maintain a moderate ad valorem tax rate. For many years, the property tax rate has been reduced from $.25 to $.20 per $100 of assessed value. The city also offers a 40% discount to be given on all tax bills if paid on or before October 31. This annual reduction rate, along with the generous discount, gives the City of St. Matthews one of the lowest, if not the lowest, tax rate in the county.
