Some South County residents will soon be receiving a new property tax bill in the mail after St. Louis County used an incorrect rate to calculate bills.

About 15,300 residents living in the Gravois Creek Sewer District will receive a new residential property tax bill after the county incorrectly used a higher tax rate from the Metropolitan Sewer District. According to Collector of Revenue Mark Devore, MSD submitted the residential real property tax of .06 per $100 of assessed value for residents in the Gravois Creek district, however the tax rate was calculated at .6 per $100 of assessed value when the county prepared the bills.

Those who have already paid the bill will be credited for the overpayment on next year’s bill or a refund can be requested. County officials say bank mortgage escrow accounts have already been corrected.
