NKY Solid Waste Resource Guide

Property taxes are sent out mid-October of every year. They are due December 31, after that date a 10% penalty is added to the amount due, as well as 1% interest per month. If a mortgage company requests your tax bill to pay through escrow, that is where the bill will be sent. If you wish to receive a copy of your tax bill, you can stop in the office or give us a call and we will provide you with one. You can also see the property tax information here on our website.

Parking of privately owned motor vehicles “for sale” is prohibited within the City, unless the vehicle is parked on the vehicle owner’s rented or owned property. Vehicles may be advertised for sale across the street from a resident’s home if parking is prohibited in front of the residence. Vehicles may also be parked at the owner’s place of work only during the hours that they are working. All other locations, such as businesses or church lots are subject to fines.

The City continually tries to enforce “no parking in fire lane” laws. Besides being a potential hazard in an emergency (Fire or Police), it is a greater hazard to traffic and pedestrians who must maneuver around these vehicles.

Building Permits are required for room additions, decks, fences or any other construction on your property. Campbell County Planning and Zoning handles all building permits and requests for the city. Please plan ahead, since review of a permit takes a minimum of two weeks. You can contact Campbell County Planning and Zoning at 859-292-3880.

Dogs must be kept contained within the owner’s property, or while off the property be secured by means of a collar or harness with a chain or leash and held by the owner or keeper. The City has a “pooper scooper” law, and any pet owner is required to remove and clean up the animal’s excrement from public or private property.
