PROPERTY TAX BILLS

Our new Property Tax Rate is 11.2 cents per hundred dollars. That is a 3.5% property tax rate discount from the previous year.

You should have received your property tax bill in the mail by now!

You may still pay by check and mail it to the address on your bill, however, you may now pay your property taxes online by clicking here.

Once the property tax search page appears do the following:

Enter your bill # and click search
Once your address and info appears, click view
Then click pay taxes

Once you pay online, you will be able to go back online at anytime to check to see if your taxes have been paid.

This is the first year we have ever offered the ability for you to pay your taxes online. So far though, we have had several residents take advantage of this.

CITY PRIDE AWARD

Our city pride award for the month of July was given to Barbara Jones of 4245 Westport Terrace. Barbara has recently replaced her roof, keeps her landscape looking great, and each week has been seen bringing in her neighbors garage cans. She truly does take PRIDE living in our great city. She was given a certificate at the July city council meeting and will soon receive a sign that will be placed in her yard for a few weeks. If you get a chance ride by and check out her property. Congratulations Barbara!

If you would like to submit a resident and their property for a city pride award, please email the mayor at mayor@woodlawnpark.com. We will award a city pride winner each month at the city council meeting to promote taking pride in our city.

Chili/Fall Social Date-

Friday, October 18th

All residents and their families are invited to attend our Chili/Fall Social at city hall. There will be chili, hot dogs, and Fall refreshments. Last year, over 50 residents attended. Please join us to get to know your neighbors and for an evening of fun, food and some games for the kids too! MARK YOUR CALENDARS TO ATTEND!

Thanks so much to Ed Purcell, City Councilperson for organizing the event!

FALL JUNK PICK UP WILL BE ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26TH (click for guidelines for Junk)

SIGN DAMAGED-

did anyone damage this sign?

On Sunday night, August 25th, the sign at Darbrook and Beechwood Road was hit and knocked down. Most of the sign will need to be replaced. Accidents happen, we get that, however, an insurance claim could have saved Woodlawn park approximately $2,500. If anyone knows anything about this incident (perhaps via a Ring camera etc., please notify the Mayor or Police Chief Wilson immediately.

Thank you so much for your cooperation in this matter!

70th year WOODLAWN PARK ANNIVERSARY update!

LETS ALL MAKE OUR CITY SHINE THIS FALL!

We appreciate all of you who submitted stories or why you love Woodlawn Park. Video production will soon begin. Five residents will be participating in interviews in late September- each of them have been notified. The video crew will be present at the September city council meeting to video part of our meeting. New banners, a new city flag, t-shirts for purchase, and a new logo are coming as well. If you see a drone flying around in the next month or two its the videographer taking photos of our beautiful city.

City Forester and the Mayor attended a recent workshop about Louisville Metro's tree plan.

James Russell- Bushong of 6846 Green Meadow Circle, our City Forester, will soon begin a tree plan for our city. Thanks so much to James for stepping in and getting right to work!

No More Additional Air BnB's in Woodlawn Park

Let this serve as a reminder that Woodlawn Park's short term rental ordinance was recently amended. Short term rentals are now permitted by only those hosts who as of the date of the enacted amended ordinance (September 18, 2023), were registered for a short term rental under sections 1 and 2 of our original ordinance. In addition, hosts must be in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations described in Section 3 of the original ordinance.

In summary, Woodlawn Park has only one Short term rental on Darbrook that is eligible. Anyone else renting out their home for less than 30 days per year would be in violation of this Airbnb ordinance and will be subject to a possible citation. If you suspect of a neighbor renting out their home, please contact our code enforcement person, George Stewart by email at louisvilleceo@gmail.com
