The centralized system for property tax assessments on motor vehicles
is a piggyback program that is supported by the Kentucky Information
System (KVIS). KVIS contains ownership records and various facts
on motor vehicles and is maintained by the Transportation Cabinet.
Information is entered and maintained through on-line computer terminals
located in each county clerk's office and in each PVA office. A person
who registers a vehicle with the County Clerk is also listing the vehicle
with the PVA. Boats are now included in the KVIS system and are registered
in the same manner as other motor vehicles. This registration process leads
to a property assessment based on values determined by the trade-in value
of the property.
It is the responsibility of the PVA office to value vehicles missed
by the computer program or correct the values of those that were incorrectly
valued and enter such values or corrected values into the system through
the computer terminals in the PVA office.
The PVA office uses the NADA Value and Appraisal guides
to determine a value for a vehicle using the trade-in value.
