Tax Bills Need to Be Mailed Early
To be considered on time and to avoid late penalties, mailed payments for 2022 tax bills must be postmarked by the USPS on or before December 31st 2022. All mail in this area goes to a St. Louis facility to be postmarked. Dropping a letter in the mail in the last few days of December, but especially Dec. 31 is no guarantee of it being postmarked with a December date.
“It may be three or four days before it’s postmarked, so don’t wait until the last day,” County Collector Claudia Stuppy warned.
