City Social Events
City social events are a bonus of living in Northfield. They include a Fourth of July parade, Summer picnic, and Light up Northfield for the Holidays. We also have an annual free shredding event for residents. These events are posted on the Events tab of the Northfield web site.
Tree Program
The City of Northfield possesses a great resource in our mature trees. As each year passes, parts of our tree canopy are adversely impacted by insects, wind and other environmental conditions. In an effort to replenish these resources, Northfield has a city sponsored Plant-A-Tree Program.
City Directory
A directory is published annually. You can update your personal information via the Northfield web site on the message tab. This information is sent only to our City Clerk.
Trash Collection
Our sanitation vendor is Ecotech. Trash pickup days are Monday and Thursday. Three large cans will be emptied from the garage or rear of the home. Anything over three cans must be placed at the curb. Yard waste is collected at the curb on Monday only (No yard waste collection during January or February, exception: Christmas Trees).
Dogs
Dogs are to be controlled at all times. Northfield adheres to and enforces the Louisville Jefferson County Metro leash laws. All dogs must be confined to the owner’s property and on leash when on city streets.
City Tax
City tax is collected annually. The bills are mailed out in October.
Insurance Tax
A Kentucky insurance premium tax is charged on most insurance policies and is included in your total premium payment. The insurance company remits this tax to the City of Louisville by default unless the correct municipality is stipulated. All Northfield residents are requested to notify their insurance carriers that this tax should be remitted to the City of Northfield. This funding is very important to our city for maintaining a low tax rate and continuing city services and improvements.
