Buying in Jeffersontown: questions to ask

• Is the home inside the Jeffersontown city limits, or just in a nearby ZIP code? That affects city services and city taxes.
• What are the property taxes? Jeffersontown sets its own city real estate tax rate. For 2026 the city lists a rate of $0.1082 per $100 of assessed value.² That's the city's share only, so ask for the total tax bill on the specific home.
• How close is the home to Bluegrass Commerce Park or a busy commercial corridor? Drive by at rush hour.
• Which JCPS schools serve this exact address?
• Are you pre-approved? Talk to our preferred lender, Andy Shelby of Go Rascal, before you start touring homes.
