      It's that time once again, the  summer heat is turning to autumn breezes, leaves are turning  and the little ghost and goblins are preparing for their annual visit.
      We will be observing Halloween this year on Monday the 31st. If you plan on giving treats please have your porch light on. Also let's be especially  careful driving that evening safety may not be top of mind as the little trick or treaters scamper around in search of all the goodies.
     

   
Let's have a Happy and Safe Halloween!


Mayor  Lewis

City Council
Make sure to check that the local government tax is going to Woodlawn Park on your insurance bills...

Ordinance Number 3, Series 1990-1991 imposes a License Fee upon Insurance Companies for the privilege of engaging in the business of insurance within the corporate limits of the City of Woodlawn Park.  This includes homeowners, car insurance and first year premiums of life insurance.   This ordinance has been difficult to enforce because of the city dynamics and the number of insurance companies issuing policies. The problem has arisen where many residents are not making their insurance company aware of the proper direction of the tax fee.

Print this out and attach to your next insurance bill payment, or call your insurance agent directly to advise of your correct local government. 

Please properly direct the Local Government Tax for this customer to the City of Woodlawn Park, KY.  Zip Code is 40207.

FOR QUESTIONS

Contact the city treasurer Gloria Curran by mail via C. Veeneman CPA, 2527 Nelson Miller Parkway / Louisville, KY 40223-3161

Contact the city treasurer by phone at 502-244-5043.

Please help us solve this situation and help your city collect thousands of dollars that are being routed to St. Matthews or other municipalities in error.  Your insurance rates WILL NOT change.  This tax fee is already being paid as part of your bill.  It is merely a matter of misdirection of these funds.  You can simply call your insurance company or detach the cut-out below and attach to your next payment.
