Kentucky Transportation Cabinet: Reminder! New laws took effect Jan. 1, 2024 to collect electric and hybrid vehicle fees to ensure all vehicles, regardless of their power source, that ride on Kentucky roads and bridges pay their fair share to help build and maintain our infrastructure.
EV and hybrid owners will get a postcard from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet with payment information. Online payments at EVHV.ky.gov are preferred and strongly encouraged. If you wish to pay at a county clerk’s office, you MUST pay the EV/hybrid fee at the same time you pay your annual registration fee.

In an ongoing effort to maintain updated characteristics of homes in Meade County, field representatives from Meade County’s PVA office will be doing physical inspections of real property located on or adjacent to the following roads:
Milan, New Highland Church, Cherokee, Echo Trail, Poole, Fairgrounds, Payneville, Ragtown, Sirocco, Midway, Hwy 79, Sandy Hill, Gobbler’s Knob, Dooley, Guston, Haysville, Charlie Pile, Vinson, Ashcraft, and River Edge.
KRS 132.220 – (3) The property valuation administrator, his or her employee, or employees of the department may physically inspect, or inspect using any other method approved by the department, and revalue land and buildings in the absence of the property owner or resident. The exterior dimensions of buildings may be measured and building photographs may be taken.

“ATTENTION MARCH RENEWALS:
Due to the slower processing of motor vehicle transactions due to the continuing transition to the new system, we are asking that if you are due to renew in March to please wait until February or March to renew. We want to serve you with the best of our ability and feel that as the new system is updated with the necessary fixes we will be better to do so.
We currently would like to concentrate on the expired registrations and January renewals as we are overwhelmed with long lines and longer wait times. Some transactions that have issues are taking anywhere from 1/2 hour to an hour to fix.
We also continue to have a huge back log of mail and dealer work that needs to be processed.
I am very proud of my staff and their efforts to serve the community at the best of their ability and under extremely difficult circumstances. We appreciate your continued patience and understanding with us.”
