Worked Example
Let's calculate the property tax for a $250,000 residential property in Kenton County:
Example Calculation
Assessed Value: $250,000
Tax Rate: 1.25% (current residential rate)
Annual Property Tax = ($250,000 × 1.25) / 100 = $3,125
Monthly Tax Payment = $3,125 / 12 ≈ $260.42
For this property, you would pay approximately $3,125 per year in property taxes, or about $260.42 per month.
