Property Taxes Due by December 31st

Tens of thousands of tax bills were mailed to property owners in the City of St. Louis in early November. The deadline for paying your real estate and personal property tax bills is December 31st.  As city employees we are obligated to pay our taxes in full and on time, or suffer disciplinary action by the Department of Personnel.

Department of Personnel Administrative Regulation No. 137 states that "City employees, because of the public nature of their employment are held to high standards of compliance with these tax laws by the general public.  These standards of compliance are perfectly proper and shall be the standards against which City employees are measured.  Employees who don't pay [by Dec. 31st] are subject to disciplinary action."

We have made more payment options available to continually improve customer service.  We hope you will take advantage of them and pay your tax bills by December 31st.

2012 property bills may be paid in several ways: by calling 1-800-2PAYTAX as noted on the bill itself, using our online payment system, www.officialpayments.com, via mail using the enclosed return envelope, in person in Room 109 of City Hall from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday or by visiting one of our four satellite bank locations.  The satellite banks are as follows:  

  • Bank of America, 4301 Hampton Ave.
  • Bank of America, 9075 Goodfellow Blvd.
  • M&I Bank, 2301 South Kingshighway Blvd.
  • PNC Bank, 4131 South Grand Blvd.
during normal banking hours.

(Please note that our satellite bank locations may hold holiday hours on December 24th and 31st; we will honor their hours where applicable.  Please make appropriate arrangements to visit us ahead of time if necessary.  All bills postmarked on the 31st are considered received on time.)

My staff in the office and at the neighborhood banks is thoroughly prepared for a robust property tax season. We look forward to serving you and all the taxpayers of the City of St. Louis!
