"Dear Citizen,
I am very proud of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and of the many services we provide our community. Our Tax Office is one of the areas of service of which I am most proud.

Every year tax bills are mailed in November. If you do not receive a tax bill in the mail by the second week of November, please contact our office at 502-574-5479 and request a duplicate bill to be sent to you. You may also print a copy of your tax bill by using the Property Tax Search and Payment.
Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you of your obligation to pay your tax bill nor does it waive the penalties or fees for late payment.
