The Hardin County Fiscal Court met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
The fiscal court approved property tax rates for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
“The real estate tax rate of 10.8 cents per each $100 of assessed value, the personal property, business inventory, non-Kentucky-registered watercraft and aircraft rate of 12.3 cents per $100 of assessed value, and then the motor vehicle and watercraft tax rate of 11.5 cents on each $100,” said County Attorney Jenny Oldham during a public hearing on the tax rate held during the meeting.
Hardin County Judge/Executive Keith Taul said during his presentation on the tax rate that the county was going with the four percent revenue increase.
“The four percent increase from the previous year brought us very close to what we looked at and what we were able to predict,” Taul said. “It came in within a total of about $60,000, so very close to what the budget that we are currently in shows.”
Taul said the county budget is being balanced with about $2.5 million from the BlueOval SK Pilot Agreement, while not using annual funds from the Baptist Health Hardin hospital sale. The business personal property rate increased while the real estate property rate decreased.
“The reason that we could do this, to actually have an increase in revenue with a tax rate that went down 0.3 cents, is because it’s due to our growing county, really, and with an almost $1 billion increase in real estate property valuations,” Taul said.
In other meeting news, Hardin County Coroner Pat Elmore said his office responded to 72 cases in June and 129 in July, noting an increased number of autopsies performed. Hardin County Sheriff John Ward said in June and July his office made 189 arrests and issued 254 citations.
The Hardin County Fiscal Court will next meet September 9.
