St. Louis City An independent city, not part of St. Louis County. It has a one percent earnings tax, city personal property administration, and St. Louis-area emissions rules. St. Louis County A county full of municipalities, school districts, fire districts, occupancy rules, and emissions checks. The municipality can matter almost as much as the mailing address. Kansas City Kansas City crosses county lines and has an earnings tax. A KCMO address can sit in Jackson, Clay, Platte, or Cass County, so county paperwork still matters. Jackson County A reassessment-heavy county where notices, informal review, Board of Equalization deadlines, and State Tax Commission activity deserve close attention.
