Can I make partial tax payments
on delinquent taxes? Yes!
You can pay any amount at any time or
contact us to set up a payment plan that
fits your budget:
• Scan the code to visit our
online customer service
portal and place a request
for a personalized payment
plan.
• Send an email to:
backtaxteam@stlouiscountymo.gov
• Call us at 314.615.5500
Partial payments for late payment of
delinquent taxes are accepted at any
office of the St. Louis County Department of
Revenue and by mail. Payments will first be
applied to unpaid fees, interest and
penalties, and then to the unpaid balance of
the tax amount. Late charges will continue
to accrue on the unpaid balance up to 18%
interest per year, plus a 2% penalty
(statutorily set).
If you make partial payments, you will receive a
receipt for the amount paid for your records,
but your tax bill will not be marked “paid”
until it is paid in full. This is important to
remember if a personal property receipt is
needed for license plate renewal.
Important:
Partial payments do not prevent future
collection efforts such as selling real
estate in a tax sale or filing suit to collect
personal property taxes.
