Adair property taxes set to mail Sept. 30

by

Monday, Sept. 28, 2020 
From Sheriff Josh Brockman

We would like to remind everyone to consider  mailing in your tax bill instead of in person payment. This is a very busy time of the year for our office and will help cut down on the amount of people we have in the lobby area due to COVID -19.
If you choose to come in and pay please wear a mask as it is required by the Adair County Fiscal Court for entry into the building. Have your tax payment ready when you get here, this will cut down on time at window and move the line along faster. This will also reduce the number of people we have in the lobby standing.
We will be cleaning on a routine schedule throughout the day but once again we encourage the use of the mail for tax payment.

The following apply to your Adair County Tax Rate:
• Paid between Oct. 1 and Nov. 1. you will receive a 2 percent discount.
• Paid between Nov. and Dec. 31. it will be the face amount of bill.
• Paid Jan. 1 to Jan. 31, 2021 a 5 percent penalty is added.
• Paid Feb. 1 to April 15, 2021 a 10 percent penalty is added in addition to a 10 percent add on.

Gov. Beshear’s Sunday, Sept. 27 Update on COVID-19

by

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Sept. 27, 2020) – Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday updated Kentuckians on the state’s continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

“We know we must do better if we want to continue on the path toward regaining the parts of our lives that have been on hold,” the Governor said. “If we want to protect each other and our economy, if we want to get our kids back to school, the message is clear for Team Kentucky: Wear a mask, maintain social distance, wash your hands regularly and avoid crowds.”

Case Information
As of 3 p.m. Sept. 27, Gov. Beshear announced at least 66,491 cases of COVID-19 in the commonwealth, 456 of which were newly reported Sunday. Sixty of the newly reported cases were from children ages 18 and younger, of which 10 were ages 5 and under. The youngest was just 2 months old.

The Governor announced three more deaths Sunday, bringing the state’s death total to 1,157. The deaths reported included a 97-year-old woman from Bell County; an 87-year-old man from Kenton County, and an 81-year-old woman from Fayette County.

“That’s three more Kentucky families who are grieving,” the Governor said. “Let’s continue to light our homes and businesses up green and ring our bells at 10 a.m. to let those in mourning know that they are loved and in our thoughts.”

Due to limited reporting on Sundays, some information will be delayed until Monday.
