Real Estate Tax Abatement

Tax abatement for real estate development in the City of St. Louis.

Overview

  • Real Estate Tax Abatement is a development tool designed to assist developers, businesses, and individuals with renovation and new construction projects.

  • Tax Abatement freezes the tax assessment in improvements to property at the pre-development level.

  • To be eligible for tax abatement, a significant investment must be made in the property; generally either new construction on vacant land or gut rehabilitation of an existing building.

  • Application must be made before construction begins.

  • The usual term for tax abatement is 5 to 10 years.

  • It is imperative that a company or individual seeking tax abatement obtain the support of the Alderman of the Ward in which the development is proposed as well as the appropriate neighborhood organization(s).

  • A "recommended Abatement Map for Residential Projects Under
    $1 Million" was adopted by the Board of Aldermen through resolution 104 which was passed by the board on 10/29/2018.
