DESCRIPTION

This act modifies the percentage of property tax collections that are deposited in the county assessment fund. It increases the percentage from one-half of one percent to one percent in first class counties and St. Louis City. For second, third, and fourth class counties the percentage becomes two percent, up from one half of one percent in second class counties and one percent in third and fourth class counties.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
