Introduction

You may pay your personal property or real estate taxes online, using your checking or savings account, credit card, or pin-less debit card. After four steps on our website, you will be transferred to our payment service website to make your payment. Checking and savings account payments are processed by Bank of America and credit card payments are processed by ACI Payments, Inc.

Paid Receipts

Online tax payments can take up to two business days to process, therefore, if you need a 'paid' receipt now, do not pay online. The only way to receive a receipt immediately, is to pay in person at one of our offices.

You may print a personal property tax receipt from the personal property information page and a real estate receipt from the real estate information page. If you are unable to print a receipt, please email [email protected] or call 314-615-5500 for a receipt to be mailed to you.

Step 1 - Begin

Enter either your personal property account number or real estate locator number.

Note that many personal property account numbers begin with the letter I and not the number one and the third character of all locator numbers is always an alphabet letter, such as the letter "O" and the rest are numbers.

Step 2 - Tax Information

Tax due amounts are shown for every year in which taxes are owed. You must pay the full amount as partial payments are not accepted online.

If you do not owe any taxes, then the last payment information will be shown.

Step 3 - Payment Method

If you want to pay with a checking or savings account, then choose the electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment method. No convenience fee will apply. EFT payments below $1.00 or over $499,999.99 cannot be made online.

If you want to pay with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover credit card then choose debit/credit card payment method. A convenience fee will apply, which will be shown when you select the debit/credit card payment method.
