How these numbers are made

Lyndon is a city inside Louisville Metro. Its homes pay the state rate, Louisville Metro's general rate, the city's own 13 cents per $100, the St. Matthews / Lyndon fire district rate and the JCPS school rate. They do not pay the Urban Services District rate. The school rate is the 2025 rate (the 2026-27 rate was not yet posted), the city's rate is from its audit for the year ended June 30, 2025 and the fire rate is from the 2025 PVA schedule.
Property tax starts at the Census median value of owner-occupied homes in Lyndon ($276,800); your PVA assessment may differ. Kentucky's $49,100 homestead exemption is only for owners 65 and older or totally disabled, so it is a tip, not taken off the typical bill. The city's 10% discount (by August 1) and the county's 2% discount (by December 1) are not taken off the typical bill.
Water: Louisville Water Company's 2026 residential rates for a 5/8-inch meter, $17.82 a month plus $1.70 per 1,000 gallons for the first 2,000, $4.70 for the next 8,000 and $4.87 above 10,000. Starting use is Louisville Water's average customer, 4,000 gallons a month (about 5.3 CCF).
Sewer: MSD's rates from September 1, 2026, $24.48 service charge plus the $20.01 residential infrastructure surcharge a month and $6.56 per 1,000 gallons. MSD's drainage service charge of $15.39 a month per single-family parcel is added to the fixed amount: MSD's schedule defines the drainage service area as all of Jefferson County except Anchorage, Jeffersontown, St. Matthews and Shively, and Lyndon is not on that list. We assume a typical home is a single-family parcel.
Trash: Rumpke collects trash, yard waste and recycling for the city and we found no resident trash fee, so trash is shown as $0. Electricity: LG&E Rate RS from August 14, 2026 with the August 2026 adjustments, using EIA utility average use. Gas is not included: this page is electric only. LG&E distributes gas in Jefferson County, and a home that heats with gas will have a gas bill on top of these figures. Insurance is the 2022 Kentucky average HO-3 premium (NAIC via Triple-I), dated and possibly below current premiums.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
