Property Assessment and Reassessment Moratorium Program
This program encourages the repair, rehabilitation, restoration, or stabilization of qualifying structures located in the Louisville Metro area. Under the program, owners of qualified commercial or residential property may be eligible for a moratorium (or a freeze) on a portion of local taxes for a period of five years depending on the location of the property. The Property Assessment and Reassessment Moratorium Program was updated in 2020 to lower the threshold for qualified owner-occupied properties in historically disinvested neighborhoods, including the nine neighborhoods in West Louisville, Smoketown and Shelby Park. More information can be found here. You can also call Construction Review at (502) 574-3321.
