Suburbs, warehouses and rural knobs
Bullitt County's cities are Shepherdsville, the county seat, along with Mount Washington, Hillview, Lebanon Junction, Pioneer Village, Fox Chase, Hebron Estates and Hunters Hollow. Several are small residential cities right at the Jefferson County line, and Brooks is an unincorporated community rather than a city.
The I-65 corridor through Shepherdsville and the northern county carries a large concentration of warehouses and distribution centers, staffed around the clock in shifts. Those sites control entry, so DFS generally attempts service at home and approaches employers only through security or reception.
South and east of the interstate, the county turns to wooded hills, farms and rural roads, and part of the Fort Knox installation lies within the county. DFS claims no authority on the installation and serves at off-post addresses where possible.
