Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 91

(1) Any lot that is not designated by a number on the assessor's maps, and any lot that is

so designated but is subsequently subdivided, shall be given an appropriate serial

number by the assessor, and shall be designated by that number in the assessment

books. The board of aldermen may provide for additional assessment maps

whenever necessary.

(2) The assessor shall not assess any property in such a name as "A B's heirs," "A B's

devisees," "A B's executors" or the like, but he may assess lands or improvements in

the name of "A B's unknown heirs," "A B's unknown devisees" or the like, when the

names cannot be obtained after diligent inquiry has been made. When there are

more than three (3) joint owners, three (3) of the names, with the words "and

others," may b e used. Where a remainder, reversion or other future estate is

outstanding, the holder of the particular estate shall be assessed with the words

"holder of present estate" after his name. Whenever the names of all the owners are

not given no lien for the t axes shall arise to the detriment of any purchaser from an

owner not named, unless the assessment, by its own terms or by reference to the city

maps, identifies the lands or improvements therein embraced.

(3) Whenever it appears that any property has been assessed in a name other than that

of the owner or holder, whether for the current or any preceding year, the assessor

shall notify the owner or holder by mail and at the same time make the correction in

his books, and certify the correction to the tax receiver.

(4) No mistake in, or omission of, the correct name of the owner or holder of taxable

lands or improvements shall impair the assessment, if the lands or improvements

are designated in the assessment books by the number and block assigned to them

on the assessor's map, or otherwise fully identified in the assessment books.
