Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 252 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Section 172 of the Kentucky Constitution requires all non-exempt property to be assessed at 100% of fair cash value — the price it would bring at a fair voluntary sale — as of 1 January (see also KRS 132.190). Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
