Except in counties having a courthouse district as provided in KRS 382.210, the
fiscal court in each county containing an urban-county government or a city with a
population equal to or greater than twenty thousand (20,000) based upon the most
recent federal decennial census may in its discretion direct the county clerk to have
made in books prepared for that purpose general indexes of the records of all the
real property in the county according to a system approved by the fiscal court or the
legislative body of the urban-county government. The county clerk shall advertise
for bids for all the work necessary to install the system under specifications
approved by the county judge/executive or mayor of the urban-county government
and shall, with the approval of the fiscal court or the legislative body of the urbancounty government, enter into a contract with the lowest and best bidder for the
work, after requiring him to give bond for the faithful performance of the contract in
a sum to be fixed by the fiscal court or the legislative body of the urban-county
government and approved by the county judge/executive or mayor of the urbancounty government, and when the work has been completed to its satisfaction, the
fiscal court or the legislative body of the urban-county government shall direct the
payment agreed upon out of the general fund of the county.
When general indexes are completed they shall constitute the official indexes and
the clerk of the county shall keep the indexes up to date by indexing therein the
records of all real property within one (1) month from the time they are lodged for
record, and when so indexed the alphabetical cross-index of such instruments need
no longer be preserved, and when such records or any part of them become defaced
or injured the clerk shall transcribe the defaced or injured records into new books,
which shall be as valid in law as the original record.
In order that such additional indexes may be kept correctly and accurately, the fiscal
court or the legislative body of the urban-county government may employ a
competent person to keep the system of indexing and shall pay such person a sum
not less than two thousand four hundred dollars ($2,400) nor more than four
thousand dollars ($4,000) per annum, out of the general funds of the county.
