Taxes

Union’s General Government revenue consists solely of Ad Valorem (Property) and Tangible Property Taxes. These tax revenues fund the services required by our citizens such as street maintenance, street lighting, and refuse collection. The City’s current tax rates for fiscal 2018-2019 are: Property Tax Rate–2.16 per $1000 and Tangible Tax Rate–1.88 per $1000.

Regarding City Ordinance No. 2019-10 fixing the date of payment and collection of taxes. Amounts will be due and payable as follows:

• If Paid by October 31 – get 2% discount.
• If Paid in November or December – Base Amount due.
• If Paid after December 31 – 10% penalty and 1% interest.

For property owners financing additional fees such as the Sanitary Sewer Tap-In-Fee or the Streetlight Assessment-Fee: those property owners will receive a separate tax bill for those fees as required by Kentucky Statute.

Those bills will be mailed with the property tax bills.  The bills are separate and subject to the same terms as the property tax bill, but are ineligible for discount.
