2026 fiscal calendar
Know the tax date before it becomes a penalty date.
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The verified record below separates published figures from dates that require confirmation with Marshall County Property Valuation Administrator.
Effective rate
Kentucky property-tax rates vary by county, school, city, and other taxing jurisdictions; no current countywide effective percentage was published.
Statement mailing
Usually around October 1, 2026; exact county-specific mailing date was not published.
Payment deadline
Under the standard Kentucky 2026 schedule: 2% discount through November 1; face amount November 2-December 31; 5% penalty January 1-31, 2027; 21% penalty February 1-April 15; unpaid bills then transfer to the county clerk.
Valuation protest
county-specific 2026 dates were not separately published; under the standard DOR calendar, the tax-roll inspection/PVA conference period is May 4-May 18, with appeal due by May 19, 2026.
Critical payment warning
Do not assume a grace period.
The verified county record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat the published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
Read the calendar in order
From assessment to collection
1. Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
2. Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
3. Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
