The 0.94% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Louisville and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Kentucky average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Louisville buyers. Many Louisville properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $100/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
