No Restrictions OK to Subdivide! Zone anyway you like! Property Tax: For those of you in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, California & actually every other state and county in the USA. Our county has perhaps the lowest and most reasonable property tax rate on the planet which is @ 0.79%. So it is well below 1%. Currently $7.91 per $1000.00 of assessed value. We also get a discount of 2% on the total bill if we pay one month before balance is due. Casey County has a very fair approach to tax assessment. As Casey County is not like other counties in KY or other states that have huge budges due to over expansion and pork barrel spending. The assessor's office does not need to generate large revenues. Thus the tax burden on the residents in minimal. As we have a farm over 100 acres we get a special exemption for the usual way that taxes are assessed. Normally you would expect to pay tax based on what you paid for the property. NOT in Casey County! The tax you pay is based on criteria set from realistic value that a farm could produce. Farms over 100 acres are assessed by type of soil. There are 3 types and thus 3 rates: Tillable / Row Crop Farm Land is assessed @ $600.00 per acre. Pasture Farm Land is assessed @ $400.00 per acre. Wooded Land is assessed @ $200.00 per acre. Buildings are assessed as follows: Houses like ours are assessed at a rate of $60.00 to $70.00 per sq. foot. Shops like ours are assessed at a rate of $25.00 to 40.00 per sq. foot. Pole Buildings with concrete floors are assessed at a rate of $5.00 to 10.00 per sq. foot. Pole Buildings without concrete floors that are used for feed, live stock, horses, farm equipment or any other agricultural purposes are generally NOT assessed at all. Garden walls, Pergolas, BBQ areas, pools, sheds, out buildings are generally NOT assessed at all. Best of all!!! This same rate applies to the NEW BUYER! So the current property tax we pay (about $1,100.00 per year) is close to the amount the new owner would pay regardless of the amount of money paid for the property! For example: If a buyer pays $10,000,000.00 (yes 10 Million Dollars) or if he pays $1.00 (yes one dollar) the amount of assessed value will be about $1,100.00 (yes one thousand, one hundred dollars). I know it sounds too good to be true... But it is TRUE! I am happy to supply the telephone number to the assessor's office so you can check for your self!
