Letter to the Editor
Mark:
I would like to make a statement in response to the letter sent to the Lazer about the assessment notice. I have attached a Legal Notice that is published in the Big Sandy News at the beginning of each year. KRS 132.220 requires each property owner of the county to list their property with the PVA office each year between January 1st thru March 1st. I know that everyone doesn’t read the Big Sandy News, but there is no way of reaching each citizen of the county individually and notifying them of this KRS. No one is punished for not following this KRS in Lawrence County.
In response to the claim made that the PVA made no attempt to call them about the ownership or value of their mobile home, this is what the 2018 Property Tax Assessment Notice is for. We received notice from the 911 office that the Holders had applied for an address at this location. We drove to the address, took a picture and sent this notice. The notice states that if the assessment or ownership is incorrect to contact our office between May 7th thru May 21st. This process ensures that property ownership is correctly identified.
This entire process is required by the Revenue Department in Frankfort, KY.
Sincerely,
Chris Rose
