Surprise! Matt Bevin's House Is Worth Way More Than He Repeatedly Claimed

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A property tax appeals board on Tuesday set the tax value of Gov. Matt Bevin's Anchorage mansion and property at $2 million.

The board settled on a value between the $1.39 million that Bevin said the property is worth and the $2.9 million assessment released in April by Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator Tony Lindauer

Bevin, who bought the property for $1.6 million in March of 2017 from Neil Ramsey, a friend and campaign donor whom Bevin appointed to the Kentucky Retirement Systems board of trustees, appealed the PVA's value to the board.

The board, comprised of three local real estate professionals appointed by Mayor Greg Fischer, heard more than six hours of testimony and received a voluminous amount of records from the two sides during two days of hearings in the case last week.
