St. Louis County pauses property tax freeze applications for seniors
SUMMARY: St. Louis County’s senior tax freeze program is currently paused for system upgrades, expected to be completed by Monday morning. Over 30,000 applications have been submitted, with approximately 20,000 done online. The pause allows staff to address duplicate applications and improve system efficiency, which has faced challenges due to the influx of data-rich submissions. Director of Revenue Tony Smee noted that once operational, applications could be processed in about 4-5 minutes if applicants are prepared. The upgrade aims to streamline the application process before the June deadline, with potentially 100,000 more seniors eligible to apply.
