The department annually shall furnish to each county clerk tax bill forms
designed for adequate accounting control sufficient to cover the taxable
property on the rolls.
After receiving the forms, the county clerk shall prepare for the use of the
sheriff or collector a correct tax bill for each taxpayer in the county whose
property has been assessed and whose valuation is included in the certification
provided in KRS 133.180. If the bills are bound, the cost of binding shall be
paid out of the county levy. Each tax bill shall show the rate of tax upon each
one hundred dollars ($100) worth of property for state, county, and school
purposes; the name of the taxpayer and his or her mailing address; the number
of acres of farm land and its value; the number of lots and their value; the
amount and value of notes and money; the value of mixed personal property;
the total amount of taxes due the state, county, school district, and any other
taxing district for which the sheriff collects taxes; and shall include a statement
that notifies the taxpayer that costs and fees increase substantially if the taxes
become delinquent. Provision shall be made for the sheriff to have a stub,
duplicate, or other proper evidence of receipt of payment of each tax bill.
Tax bills prepared in accordance with the certification of the department shall
be delivered to the sheriff or collector by the county clerk before September 15
of each year. The clerk shall take a receipt showing the number of tax bills and
the total amount of tax due each taxing district as shown upon the tax bills. The
receipt shall be signed and acknowledged by the sheriff or collector before the
county clerk, filed with the county judge/executive, and recorded in the order
book of the county judge/executive in the manner required by law for recording
the official bond of the sheriff.
Upon delivery to him or her of the tax bills, the sheriff or collector shall mail a
notice to each taxpayer, showing the total amount of taxes due the state,
county, school district, and any other taxing district for which the sheriff collects
taxes, the date on which the taxes are due, and any discount to which the
taxpayer may be entitled upon payment of the taxes prior to a designated date.
The sheriff shall not mail tax notices prior to September 15.
All notices returned as undeliverable shall be submitted no later than the
following work day to the property valuation administrator. The property
valuation administrator shall correct inadequate or erroneous addresses if the
information to do so is available and, if property has been transferred, shall
determine the new owner and the current mailing address, or the in-care-of
address reflected in the deed as required by KRS 382.135. The property
valuation administrator shall return the corrected notices to the sheriff or
collector on a daily basis as corrections are made, but no later than fifteen (15)
days after receipt. Uncorrected notices shall be submitted to the department by
the property valuation administrator.
