鈥淲e want to make it easier for our seniors to get the help they need without the stress of taking time off during the workweek,鈥� said Tony Smee, director of the St. Louis County Department of Revenue.
Since October, St. Louis County received more than 50,000 applications for the senior property tax freeze. Councilman Dennis Hancock, R-Fenton, said the program is extremely popular.
鈥淚 think this is something that is going to help keep people in their homes,鈥� Hancock said. 鈥淚 think that they are going to be able to hold onto their homes a lot longer with tax bills not going up every two years.鈥�
