VOTE JONATHAN FOX PULASKI COUNTY PROPERTY VALUATION ADMINISTRATOR
About Us
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT ON MAY 19TH!
Serving Pulaski County
As the May 2026 Primary Election approaches, the race for PVA has taken center stage. I want to introduce myself and present my platform that is built on rural resilience and a demand for systemic tax reform. I am proud to say that I was born in Pulaski County and still live on the family farm in Nancy. My mother Wilma also resides in Nancy. My father Mark was a lifelong farmer and passed from this life in 2016. They instilled in me the attitude to work hard, always be honest, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. My decision to run was solidified after the retirement of our long-time PVA and the subsequent appointment of a pro-tem successor by the Governor, which I feel ignores the conservative leanings of the county. I am not the Frankfort candidate; I am the blue-collar candidate. I pledge to maintain a “mailable” mindset that serves both rural and urban voters equally, ensuring that whether a resident owns a quarter acre or one thousand, they receive the same level of commitment and fairness. My priority will be to return a truly conservative PVA office back to the taxpayers of Pulaski County.
My campaign is not merely a bid for office but a call to protect homeowners, seniors, and farmers from what I believe is an increasingly burdensome and opaque assessment system. Many residents are opening tax bills to find substantial increases, often caused by high-value, multi-million-dollar lakefront constructions being used as comparisons for modest, generational homes. Our seniors are literally being priced out of their homes across the county from rising assessment values and the tax liabilities that accompany them. After you have negotiated and paid what you feel is a fair price for a piece of property why should anyone have the right to tell you that your property is worth far more than what you would have been willing to pay? This is one reason I have openly supported “freezing assessments from point of sale,” even before legislation was introduced in the 2026 session that would support similar actions.
I will be a "full-time advocate" for legislative reform in Frankfort. My key proposals include expanding Homestead Exemptions by increasing the current $49,100 exemption to better protect seniors from rising values, advocating for a true "AG Exemption" to move beyond lowered rates to ensure farmers aren't forced to sell generational land to satisfy tax liabilities, and supporting measures like HB 75 which would exempt primary residences and primary vehicles from taxation. I will also make the appeals process accessible and understandable, as I will always believe that your government should work for you, and not against you. I am personally acquainted with many state legislators across the Commonwealth of Kentucky and will work in a conservative manner to advocate for property tax reform for all Kentuckians alike. I served as Vice President of the Mill Springs Battlefield Association and served as your Chairman of the Pulaski County Farm Service Agency. I have served on the boards of the Pulaski County Farm Bureau and Pulaski County Southern States Co-op. My college degrees were attained at Somerset Community College, and I am a proud graduate of Southwestern High School during which time I was also honored to receive the American FFA degree.
If elected, I promise to reinstate the public display of assessment values on the county's online website. Every taxpayer deserves to see how they are assessed in comparison to their neighbors. You are the "best watchdog" against unfair evaluations. The current PVA staff was hand-picked by one of the most conservative administrators we’ve ever had, it would be a fool’s errand to displace a singe employee. Public notices will be issued to let residents know when to expect PVA updates in your specific area of the county. All official PVA vehicles will be clearly marked and highly identifiable from a long distance, because I know that nobody likes surprises, especially from a tax assessor.
My message to the voters of Pulaski County is clear, if you want property tax reform, less government, and more freedom to live life on your own terms, I want those things for you as well. I will work with the conservative values that have been instilled in me from my youth. I will work tirelessly to make Pulaski County a better place to buy a home, a business, or a farm. I humbly ask for your vote and support on May 19th.
Jonathan Fox for Pulaski County, KY PVA
