The City operates on a fiscal year of July 1 to June 30. The City obtains the bulk of its operating funds through City property taxes and municipal insurance premium taxes. The State contributes to our Road fund for street maintenance and the City receives monies from other sources such as cable franchise fees and Rental Ordinance fees. Our budget is published on the City of Windy Hills website, click here for the Financials page. The City uses the property valuation set by the Metro Louisville Property Valuation Administration. If tax bills are paid by the stated deadline, the City offers a discount. The City’s tax rate is among the very lowest found in Jefferson County.
