The Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals (KBTA) provides an independent, impartial and neutral forum for hearing and resolving disputes on tax issues in a timely, cost-effective alternative to the court system.
In order to ensure impartial decision making, the KBTA is organized under the Public Protection Cabinet and is completely independent of any of the taxing authorities that may appear before the board.
In the last three years, the KBTA has reviewed between 438 and 1,004 appeals annually; the properties have had an average assessed value of $866,992,706.
