Pay Your Personal Property Tax

The Personal Property Tax Department collects taxes on all motorized vehicles, boats, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and business property. The value of your personal property is assessed by the Assessor's Office. These tax bills are mailed to citizens in November, using the address noted on their Personal Property Declaration, and are due by December 31st of each year.

Note: Due to the rising values of vehicles in the re-sale market, the tax on most vehicles will be more in 2022 than in 2021. Car and truck values in most Missouri counties have gone up anywhere from 20% to 30% for 2022. Read more.

• You will need to declare your personal property by April 1st of each year.
• You should receive a personal property tax bill in November. If you did not receive your personal property tax bill, you can look it up online, email propertytaxdept@stlouis-mo.gov, or call the department at 314-622-4105.
• Review the Personal Property Tax information and learn about the assessment process, assessment rate, dates, waivers, etc.

Taxes that remain unpaid after December 31st may have a suit filed against them and will incur additional associated fees.

Please note that making payments towards delinquent personal property tax balances will not stop suit from being filed per Missouri State Statute.
