Selling a House in Covington, KY: A Few Local Things to Know
Historic districts. Covington has seven local historic preservation zones, including well-known neighborhoods like MainStrasse and Licking Riverside. Homes in these areas need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city before most exterior changes, and even tree removal. That can make big repairs slower and more expensive, which is one reason some owners choose to sell as-is. The city’s historic preservation office at 859-292-2171 can tell you if your home is in one.
Older-home surprises. Homes this age can come with original wiring, older plumbing, aging roofs, or lead paint in homes built before 1978. None of these are deal breakers, but they are good to know about before you sell.
Estates, records and taxes. Covington is in Kenton County. In Kentucky, estates usually go through probate in the county District Court, home values are set by the Kenton County PVA (Property Valuation Administrator), and property taxes are collected by the Kenton County Sheriff. If you are behind on taxes or handling an inherited house, we are happy to work with your attorney or recommend one we have worked with.
You have options. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing with an agent can bring the highest price. If repairs, timing or a tough situation make that hard, selling as-is to a cash buyer can be simpler. We will tell you honestly which one makes more sense for you, even if it isn’t us.

We know Covington because we’ve lived and worked in Covington
Who is Local Honest Buyer, and how do we know Covington KY? Well, I grew up in Northern Kentucky and moved to Covington when I was 18 years old. My very first apartment was on what was 12th street but is now M.L.K. Jr Blvd. I rented in Covington for about 7 years, living on Greenup St, Pike St, and Perry St while I went to the University of Cincinnati, because it was a quick bike ride over the Roebling Suspension Bridge. I also worked at restaurants such as Willie’s Sports Bar and The Waterfront, just to name a few, to make ends meet. Sadly, neither restaurant exists anymore.
