Assessment
Division

The Assessment Division discovers, identifies, classifies and assesses all real and personal property within Saint Louis County. The assessed value is applied to the tax rates established by the taxing districts to determine the amount of tax levied against a property. Functionally, the Division is comprised of:

• Abstract (Title Recording)
• Appraisal Support
• Assessment Systems
• Personal Property
• Real Property

By Missouri State law, the Assessor is required to reassess all real property to market value every other (odd) year. The process involves estimating values on about 389,000 parcels of real property, providing owners the opportunity to appeal, then finalizing, certifying and communicating the values to the individual taxing districts.

Throughout the process, the staff of the Assessor’s Office makes every effort to treat our customers fairly and to provide information in a clear and accessible manner.
