Some Lexington residents can expect to get a pre-holiday letter from the urban county government. A second property tax bill will be coming to certain residents who have streetlights and city garbage collection. Melissa Lueker is budget director for the city of Lexington. Lueker said the second bill will be the difference between a 4% increase and the approved higher rate.
“According to state statute, we can only send out the bill for up to 4% prior to any kind of recall period. There were no petitions, so we are now able to send out the bill with the difference between the 4% and the Council approved rate. It will be for streetlights and for refuse also,” said Lueker.
