ZIP Code 40121

In ZIP code 40121, which covers Fort Knox, the county-level property tax rate of 0.66% pairs with a median household income of $82,663 and per-capita income of $32,370. Because the rate is applied to assessed home value rather than income, the actual tax bill depends heavily on what a house is worth. A higher-priced home pushes the annual levy up even though the percentage stays fixed, while earners here bring in enough that the cost can be absorbed. A 6.00% combined sales tax adds to everyday expenses, but the property tax itself stays tied to housing prices.
