The terrain is gently rolling Bluegrass land, with Floyds Fork along the western side and many smaller creeks. Floodplain along streams can limit building. Shelbyville and Simpsonville 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 Shelbyville. These official sources can also help with parcel research:

• Shelby 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.
