to avoid penalty. Missouri state law Section 137.345 requires a filing penalty be added to the tax bill of any taxpayer who

neglects or refuses to file a personal property declaration. We suggest retaining proof of completion of this form; St Louis County is not responsible for

misdirected mail, or consequences thereof.

Business personal property is taxed at the location where it is situated on January 1. This applies to all assets, including heavy equipment, leased

equipment and vehicles. Property is “placed in service” when it is ready and available for use, even if it is not currently being used. Movement

of property out of the county or out of state for the purpose of avoiding taxation is in violation of Missouri state law.
