Property owners in Shepherdsville, Kentucky have filed suit against the Southeast Bullitt Fire Protection District and Department claiming they have wrongfully been taxed on property for which they have been paying taxes to the city of Shepherdsville.
Jamie Weck claims that he and his wife have improperly been taxed by both jurisdictions for the same parcel. Approximately 15 other property owners have filed similar suits for double taxation stemming from a boundary dispute between Southeast Bullitt Fire Protection District and the city of Shepherdsville.
The dispute goes back over 10 years and was supposedly resolved in 2011 by a settlement agreement. However, the fire protection district filed suit in 2013 seeking to challenge the agreement. An appeal in that case is pending before the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
