Who gets the levy?
Each share changes when you change the mix of land, buildings and equipment. These are tax recipients. They are not promised spending categories.
| Recipient | Real rate | Equipment rate | Annual tax | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christian County Public Schools | 40.0¢ | 41.9¢ | $8,190 | 47.2% |
| City of Hopkinsville | 20.2¢ | 23.9¢ | $4,410 | 25.4% |
| Christian County Fiscal Court | 16.7¢ | 18.1¢ | $3,480 | 20.1% |
| Extension district | 2.3¢ | 3.5¢ | $580 | 3.3% |
| Health district | 3.2¢ | 3.2¢ | $640 | 3.7% |
| Soil conservation district | 0.4¢ | 0¢ | $40 | 0.2% |
| Local total | 82.8¢ | 90.6¢ | $17,340 | 100% |
Rates are cents per $100 of taxable assessed value. For example, a 40¢ rate produces $4,000 per year on $1 million of taxable value.
03 / What this means
Rates are known.
Project value is not.
A tax estimate needs the taxable assessment for each property class. The PVA determines assessments. The final bill also depends on parcel boundaries and any applicable exemptions or agreements.
Not included
State property tax, watershed levies that depend on the parcel, other property classes, utility or occupational taxes, collection discounts, exemptions and tax agreements are outside this model.
Project status
Project Brickyard is a conversion study. Project Truckstop is a proposed new site. Neither has a certified taxable assessment or a verified annual local property-tax forecast.
