The error lies with the third-party company contracted to print county tax bills for the first time. The printed version of tax bills already received in the mail reflect a discount and penalty assessed to the 911 service based on early or late payment, respectively. The $36 fee assessed on all dwellings must be paid at face value regardless of when it is paid.
Kentucky statutes allow counties to assess a flat fee to fund emergency 911 services; however, KRS 65.760 restricts the amount to be collected. The 911 fee is not subject to the 2 percent discount for early payment of the property tax bill, nor are the late payment penalty amounts added to it.
Tax bills already received incorrectly reflect a reduction on the $36 fee if paid during the discount period of Nov. 1-30. Essentially, property owners listed on the 4,500 or so tax bills that include the 911 service

| Katie Perryman spikes a shot during Wednesday's semifinal win over Christian County |
Quertermous was hired as principal in August 2021. She is a 22-year employee of Crittenden County School District.
It appears that an unanticipated, immediate opening in the high school's English department may have precipitated this move.
The school district’s formal announcement follows:
Citing a desire to return to the classroom, Dr. Melissa Quertermous announced today that she is vacating the role as principal of Crittenden County High School. Rhonda Callaway, a 29-year veteran of education, will serve as interim principal for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year.
Callaway, a native of Union County, served as assistant principal at Crittenden County Elementary during the 2009-2010 school year and assistant principal of Crittenden County High School during the 2010-2011 school year, prior to being selected as the principal--a position she held until 2014. Since the start of the school year, she has served in a consultant role with the district, primarily focusing on the career and technical education program at the high school. Previously, Callaway has served as principal at Union County Middle School, secondary instructional supervisor for Webster County Schools, and, most recently, she retired as superintendent of Webster County Schools in July, 2022, after four years serving in that role.
Quertermous will teach senior English, a subject with which she has more than 18 years of teaching experience at Crittenden County. A graduate of Livingston Central High School, Quertermous attended Murray State University as an English major, where she obtained a teaching degree. She has since obtained both a masters and an EdD from MSU.
Callaway holds a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Indiana University and two Masters degrees; one in secondary education with an emphasis in biology and a second Masters in administration from Murray State University.
Guggenheim Road is off Crittenden Springs Road.
The road will be closed on Oct. 26, 27, 30, 31, and Nov. 1 for repairs from 7am until 3pm.

An after-school traffic change at Crittenden County Elementary School prohibiting left turns onto Autumn Lane toward the school has been rescinded.
Last week, school officials issued an announcement about changing traffic flow there, but the idea was scrapped after only two days. It will be back to normal today.
The school district reminds motorists to be cautious in the area during morning and evening commutes and to be aware of buses stopping on Country Club Drive.
