As anticipated by KRS Chapter 147, PDS is funded from a number of sources, the most significant being proceeds from a local property tax. Local interests told legislators they wanted a steady and consistent source of income for the organization, one that would not be left to the whims of a single government that might be aggrieved from time to time with a decision or recommendation that would come from the staff. Legislators provided the organization with the ability to levy up to five cents per $100 assessed valuation for all real and person property. As administered by PDS officials over the years, that tax has never exceeded 3.1 cents per $100 assessed valuation and is currently less than that.
