VEHICLE INSPECTIONS

Vehicle Inspections are performed at our office, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm. 






Required Items:

You will need to bring the following to your vehicle inspection:

  • $15 - cash, check or credit/debit card (Note: Credit/Debit transactions are subject to a convenience fee paid by the cardholder.  The Sheriff does not receive any type of fee or commission for these transactions.) 
  • Your valid U.S. State issued driver's license
  • Your original vehicle Title
    • If moving from out of state, some states are lien holder states. This means the lien holder typically keeps the title until the lien is removed. However, if you call them to let them know you have moved out of state and Kentucky requires the Title for transfer, they will release the title with a notation of the lien listed and will send it to the County Clerk's Office, where you can obtain it for inspection.
  • Your vehicle (We ask that you park in the Sheriff's Office parking lot adjacent to our building designated as parking for Sheriff's Business.)
  • Offsite Inspections: For individuals or businesses, a deputy can come to you, but there will be an additional trip fee of $20 for offsite inspections. Deputies most often times do not carry change, so exact change is best. 

What Will Be Inspected:

The Sheriff Deputy or Certified Inspector will inspect the following:

  • The vehicle identification number (VIN) and compare it with the number on the Title or Certificate of Origin
  • The vehicle's mileage, as recorded on a Kentucky Application for Certificate of Title/Registration Form​
  • The inspector may also check the vehicle for all safety features, including: brake lights, glass, horn, lights, turn signals, wiper.
  • ​You must take this completed form to the County Clerk to obtain your Kentucky license plate.
