LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Public Schools is considering raising property taxes. The potential move is now the subject of a public hearing Tuesday night.
The district sent a notice about the special meeting on June 16. In it, JCPS Superintendent Dr. Marty Pollio recommends the approval of a new rate -- of at most 80 cents on "real property" and "personal property" -- for next year.
That's about a 4.8% increase in property taxes. Right now, that rate sits at 76.3 cents and 76.8 cents, respectively.
Tuesday's public hearing is at 5:30 p.m. at the Van Hoose Education Center. It will also be streamed on the district's YouTube page.
The Board is expected to vote on the change following the hearing.
