Yes. The Real Estate Property Tax Credit for Seniors was passed by the St. Francois County Commission in December of 2024 as Ordinance #2024-12-10-1.  The program is voluntary and if you want to receive the credit YOU MUST APPLY. You will need to submit an initial base year application along with supporting documentation to the County Collector’s office. Approved applicants receiving the Senior Tax Credit will automatically be renewed annually.  The Collector’s office will do research to determine if an applicant has lost the renewal status determined if the applicant and co-applicant are deceased (determined through The Department of Vital Statistics), if the applicant is no longer the owner of the property, or if delinquent property taxes are owed.
