Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes

The land is rolling, with steeper wooded knobs, and the Rolling Fork River runs along the southern part of the county. Creek and river floodplain can limit building in places. Bardstown 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 Bardstown. These official sources can also help with parcel research:

• Nelson County government
• 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.
