Season's
Greetings!
No matter what your religious
beliefs are, or if you profess none at all.
The Christmas season is historically a time of celebration.
Families have their own traditional way to enjoy the holidays with each
other and friends. So whatever your traditions are, may they bring you and your
family joy surrounded by love.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
From all of us at City Hall
Update
to Mayor's Corner Article on Tax Appraisals
If you will remember back to our September issue, I wrote
an article about Clarkson Valley's Assessed Valuation and Tax Appraisals.
I would like to update that information with the 2007 tax rate
information. The tables below
compare the tax rate for 2006 and 2007. Even though there are four types of property in our City, I
will confine my remarks to residential. The
tax rate for our homes is in the RES column below. Remember, the calculation for residential tax is 19% of the
assessed value. The formula then
is: (appraised market value) x (assessed rate 19%) x (applicable tax rate) = the
amount of tax on your property.
You will note the rate for each of the taxing authorities
decreased with the exception of the County Park Maintenance and the Special
School District resulting in an overall rate decrease from 7.6313 to 7.0561.
Then why did my taxes go up for 2007?
As mentioned in the September article, 2007 was the bi-annual
reassessment conducted by St. Louis County.
Assessed value of homes is up, taxes up!
Note: Clarkson
Valley's rate is reduced from .1290 to .1030 with the increased home valuation
it is assured we will retain the same level of revenues.
ExampleTotal County tax for a $600,000 assessed value home
= $8,043 and Clarkson Valley's portion is $117.00
Please contact City Hall if you would like a copy of the
original article.
