Our one-line summary of the official wording.
In plain words
Our summary of the official materials and local reporting.
- The ballot says the new rate is $0.20 on each $100 of taxed value, which is a $0.025 increase. source: sos.ky.gov (Secretary of State)
- The city of Ludlow gave notice of an Aug. 5, 2026 public hearing on raising its existing special fire and emergency services tax from $.1750 to $.2000 per $100, with the increase going to a November referendum. We matched this to the question (same rates, precinct code LUD); the ballot itself does not name the city. source: ludlow.org
Cost: Our math: 2.5 cents per $100 is $25 more a year on a $100,000 property.
