Interstate 75 and U.S. 25 run through the county, and London serves as a regional shopping and service center. Growth has followed those corridors, while the hills away from them stay rural.
Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes
The terrain is steep to rolling, with ridges, hollows and creek bottoms. Slope, creek floodplain and road access are the main factors for building. Laurel River Lake lies in the southern part of the county. London and other cities zone their own land, and county rules apply elsewhere.
General information only. Confirm zoning and flood status for a specific parcel with the county.
County Resources
Property records in Kentucky come from two county offices: the county clerk, who records deeds, and the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), who handles assessments. Both can be reached through the county offices in London. These official sources can also help with parcel research:
- Kentucky Department of Revenue, Property Valuation (property tax and PVA information)
- USDA Web Soil Survey (soil maps for any parcel)
These are public government resources. We are not affiliated with them.
