Advocate Program | Helpful Information

Saint Louis County annually contracts with several individuals who have experience in real estate to help residential property owners navigate the property assessment appeal process (real estate assessments only).

This program is part of an effort to make sure residents realize their rights, take best advantage of the process, and experience Saint Louis County’s customer friendly government attitude.

Please note: The Advocate program is only in session during the appeal season, which generally runs between June and September. For details please refer to the Board of Equalization’s web page:
