212.725 Imposition of special ad valorem public health tax.
If, after the establishment of the public health taxing district, as provided in KRS
212.720, the tax-levying authorities of the district, in the opinion of the county or citycounty board of health, do not appropriate an amount sufficient to meet the public health
needs of the county or the city-county health department or do not appropriate an amount
sufficient to meet the standards prescribed by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services
for health departments, the county or city-county board of health, acting as the governing
body of the taxing district, shall with the approval of the Cabinet for Health and Family
Services, impose by resolution a special ad valorem public health tax in such amount that
it deems sufficient, but not in excess of the maximum amount approved by the electorate
as provided for in KRS 212.720. The fiscal court shall upon receipt of a duly certified
copy of said resolution, include in the next county ad valorem tax levy said special public
health tax imposed by the county or city-county board of health which shall be in addition
to all other county ad valorem taxes. Said special public health tax shall be collected in
the same manner as are other county ad valorem taxes and turned over to the county or
city-county board of health to be used solely for the maintenance and operation of the
county or city-county health department.
