Property Taxes in Saint Louis County

By David Stokes on May 27, 2011

I appeared on KMOX radio with John Hancock and Mike Kelley this morning to discuss property taxes. I appreciate both of them giving me the opportunity to appear alongside new county assessor, Jake Zimmerman. You can listen to the broadcast here, if you missed it, and if you are as interested in property taxation as I am — or if you just want to learn more about how to appeal your assessment and ultimately lower your taxes, which is also a perfectly fine reason to listen. Please stay tuned for some major work from the Show-Me Institute on property taxes, soon to be released by Christine Harbin and me.

I received a text message from one friend after the show stating that he planned to be the first person in Missouri history to appeal his assessment in order to get it higher, not lower, per our joke about that on the show. So, it is good to know that I accomplished something this morning.
