WHO SHOULD RECEIVE A PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX BILL ?
Any person who resides in St. Charles County on the 1st day of the year and owns any tangible personal property made taxable by the laws of the State of Missouri must pay a personal property tax bill for that year.

HOW MUCH ARE MY TAXES ?
Personal property taxes are made up of two components: (1) ASSESSED VALUE x (2) RATE = AMOUNT OF TAX. The ASSESSED VALUE, as determined by the County Assessor, is based upon a percentage of the market value of your property. THE RATE per $100 of assessed value, is determined by the location of your residence or business.

TAX RATES BY LOCATION
The TAX RATE is established initially by a vote of the residents within the boundaries of the taxing subdivision. Property tax rates are monitored and approved annually by the State Auditor. An example of some of these subdivisions would include public schools, fire, and ambulance districts and also some incorporated areas. A current list of tax rates are available upon request.

IMPORTANT DATES
Tax bills are mailed as a convenience to taxpayers in October and are delinquent after December 31st. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve a taxpayer of his obligation to pay taxes by December 31st.

WHAT IF I LOSE MY PERSONAL PROPERTY PAID RECEIPT ?
A duplicate paid receipt may be picked up from the Collector's office for $1.00. Or, a written request including the $1.00 may be mailed to the Collector's office. A copy of the Paid Receipt will be mailed to taxpayer.

Several of the license bureaus in the St. Charles/St. Louis Metropolitan area are given an Update of the Personal Property Tax file every few months. License Bureau personnel have access to the file to check payment and vehicle status. There is a nominal fee for this service charged by the individual License Bureau.
