Genuinely affordable housing, a real disclosed spread

Harrodsburg's median property value ran $154,200 (2024) versus a separate, higher $169,500 citation -- both genuinely below the Kentucky and national medians, and both older 2024 figures given the lack of more recent Zillow/Redfin-specific data found this pass.

A real, somewhat elevated property tax rate

Harrodsburg's own effective property tax rate ran a real, disclosed 1.12% per Ownwell -- genuinely above this project's own established 0.80%-0.85% Kentucky statewide research range, a real, less-favorable figure disclosed honestly rather than omitted.

Kentucky's flat 6% sales tax, no local add-ons

Kentucky applies a real, flat 6% sales tax statewide with NO local city or county add-ons, applying in Harrodsburg exactly as it does statewide.
