ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. - A St. Charles County homeowner said their home had an unfair assessment. Erik Shimandle from St. Peters said his home was assessed 12 percent higher than a year ago."That's important because the value of the home is directly tied to taxing districts like schools and fire districts. It can cause your taxes to go up," Shimandle said. "Because what they are doing is taking homes that have been fully renovated or even partially renovated but good enough to sell.

St. Charles County residents upset over home value assessment "They told us that pretty much, it is just the way it is. I got in-depth in...
