Buket Urgen

Many years I have spent working in the PVA field; first with the Fayette County PVA Office, then as the PVA of Jessamine County. Knowledge in this field is something I value; therefore, I hold a CKA (Certified Kentucky Assessor) and an SKA (Senior Kentucky Assessor) designation. Both were awarded to me by the Revenue Cabinet for experience and education specifically related in the PVA field. In addition, I hold a State Certified Residential Appraiser License. I strive to stay current on information and technology that is pertinent to the PVA Office and my Appraiser License.

Administration

Commits the office to providing accurate information and fair, timely assessments of real property.

Explains assessment increases based on fair cash value and encourages owners seeking lower values to bring supporting documentation.

It is an informal process and it is not necessary for property owners to be represented by an attorney. The PVA will present findings as to why the assessment value went up based upon “fair cash value.” If the property owner thinks they have cause for a lower assessment value, then they are encouraged to bring documentation to the conference that supports their opinion of the property’s value. For example, a recent appraisal, photos, insurance policies, current real estate listings, or any other sales information from their neighborhood that might be helpful.
