LOUISA, KY. — Lawrence County clerk Chris Jobe is publishing the delinquent taxes for the ’25 tax year this week.
Jobe said the task this year will top $430,000 in taxes due which is twice the amount listed for the year before.
LC Library director Deena Meade explained the reason her taxing district adjusts the budget high is knowing they will not receive the budget amount each year. Sheriff Chuck Jackson issued the tax bills on time in ’25 but the ongoing economy has taken its toll on local finances.
There is 937 bills turned over for 2025 with a total of $436,330.30 due. This is all taxing districts.
There was 988 bills turned over for 2024 with a currently owed amt due of $213,409.37
So, a total of more than $600,000 is currently owed the county for the last two reported years.
