Hi Jay
 
The Kentucky Secretary of State's Office has some good information  
regarding early tax lists and legislation regarding taxes.  Here is the  link:

In answer to my own question...
 
A colleague has told me he has often seen the same thing.  He says  that, 
beginning in 1793, taxpayers were permitted to report property from  several  
counties in their county of residence.  In addition, he  reminded that the 
tax lists I am looking at are probably state-levied taxes --  that is, the 
tax revenue went to the state government, not the county. Having  worked half 
my career in intergovernmental fiscal relations, I should have  realized 
that.  Does anyone else have other insights to share?

I have encountered several cases in the 1800-1820 period where a  taxpayer 
with land in two or more counties is listed only in the county  where he 
resides. For example, over the course of several years, a  man is listed in 
Mercer County tax list with 80 acres in Mercer and 100  acres in Gallatin 
County, but he does not appear in Gallatin County tax  lists. I have two 
questions:
 
- Is this a common occurrence?
- Did counties have some kind of reciprocal arrangement in which, say,  
Mercer County collected tax for Gallatin and transmitted it to  Gallatin?
