St. Charles County residents upset over home value assessment

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:04:05 GMT

ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. - A St. Charles County homeowner said their home had an unfair assessment. Erik Shimandle from St. Peters said his home was assessed 12 percent higher than a year ago."That's important because the value of the home is directly tied to taxing districts like schools and fire districts. It can cause your taxes to go up," Shimandle said. "Because what they are doing is taking homes that have been fully renovated or even partially renovated but good enough to sell. Those are the only ones that have really sold in the last couple of years. They then apply the price per square foot to everybody's home in the area. Most people's homes in the area haven’t been renovated to the extent that the ones that have been sold have."Shimandle said he called the St. Charles County Assessor’s Office but didn’t get the answer he had hoped for. St. Charles County residents upset over home value assessment "They told us that pretty much, it is just the way it is. I got in-depth in...

Some are looking at what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or other candidates might offer.But even critics of many Baptist voters’ embrace of hard-right politics have little doubt where this is headed in November 2024 — support for whichever candidate emerges from the GOP nomination process. The only question is the extent of the fervor they bring to the polls.In addition to Trump and DeSantis, other GOP candidates have made a point of proclaiming their Christian convi...
