Property Damage Reporting

If your property was damaged in the recent wildfires in St. Louis County, please fill out this form:

The information will be used for future communication relating to potential relief.

Property owners may be eligible for property tax relief if an assessed structure on their property sustained damage totaling 50% or more of its value, or if the property is homesteaded and the house and garage sustained any damage. Property tax relief may include property tax abatements in the year of the disaster, and property tax credits for taxes payable in the year following the disaster.

Property owners with questions about the disaster assessment process, or property tax relief programs should contact the St. Louis County Assessor’s office at 218-726-2304 or visit Disaster Relief.
