Assessor’s office to notify taxpayers of changes
May 1, 2008
St. Charles County
The St. Charles County Assessor’s office will mail notices in early May to notify taxpayers of changes to personal property assessments. Taxpayers who reported additional personal property or made corrections on their original assessment form will receive a notice of the assessment changes as part of County Assessor Scott Shipman’s approach to further involve taxpayers in the assessment process.
“The end goal is to make the entire assessment process less burdensome to the taxpayer,” he said.
“This notice alerts taxpayers of the change in their personal property assessment and allows time to appeal the value within the statutory appeal time frame,” Shipman said. “Our intention is to help citizens avoid problems at the end of the year when they receive their tax bills. At that point, it is too late to appeal the assessed value.”
Taxpayers can visit the St. Charles County Assessor’s Office online at www.sccmo.org for information on frequently asked questions regarding property taxes, appeal procedures and the Assessor’s database. Contact the Assessor’s office for assistance at 636-949-7420 or 1-800-822-4012, ext. 7420.
