The 1.37% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for St. Louis and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Missouri average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for St. Louis buyers. Many St. Louis properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $50/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
