Fayette County last updated its
assessment system in 2003, the first update since 1958. In doing so the
county committed itself to not allow such a lapse in time to occur again.
Keeping the valuations current ensures that each and every taxpayer is
paying only his/her fair share of the tax liability. More frequent updates
allow for assessors to take into consideration market trends, improving and
declining neighborhoods, and physical conditions of properties. Currently
the county is updating all of its valuations for the 2010 tax year as a part
of that commitment.
Fayette County has over 82,000
residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural properties. In the
past two years local county assessors have viewed each property in the
county to verify data. Sales from 2006, 2007, and 2008 have been reviewed
and verified for each of the neighborhoods within each municipality. In
addition, new cost of construction tables have been developed.
The County is committed to making as
much information available to the public as possible. Hopefully the
information on this site fulfills that goal in a clear and easy way.
