SB 33 - This act authorizes municipalities located within St. Louis County, as well as the counties of St. Charles, Clay, Platte, and Greene, to impose a property tax to provide fire protection services, with such tax not to exceed $0.25 per $100 assessed valuation. This act also authorizes ambulance districts, fire protection districts, and municipalities and counties to impose a sales tax of up to 1.0%, or up to 0.5% for ambulance districts, to provide ambulance and fire protection services. An ambulance district, fire protection district, or political subdivision imposing a sales tax authorized by this act shall reduce any property tax levy imposed by such district or political subdivision for the purposes of providing ambulance and fire protection services such that the revenue generated by such property tax levy is offset in an amount equal to fifty percent of the amount of revenue generated by the sales tax imposed pursuant to this act.
This act is substantially similar to SB 879 (2024).
