Kentucky Court of Appeals Affirms Nelson Circuit Court’s Decision to Uphold Residential Property Tax Assessment Increase

The Kentucky Court of Appeals affirmed the Nelson Circuit Court’s decision to uphold a 2022 tax assessment increase imposed taxpayer’s on residential property located in Nelson County. Taxpayer argued the 76.5 percent tax assessment increase imposed by the Nelson County Public Valuation Administrator (PVA) was arbitrary. The Court held the Nelson Circuit Court lacked jurisdiction over taxpayer’s appeal because his petition failed to comply with statutory requirements. Alternatively, the Court agreed with the Circuit Court that substantial evidence supported the PVA’s valuation based on comparable properties. [Hurst v. Nelson County, Ky. Ct. App., No. 2024-CA-0916-MR, 06/20/25]
