WE ARE REQUESTING THAT ST. LOUIS COUNTY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS WHO ARE SUBJECTED TO THE UNJUSTIFIABLE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS AND TAX LEVIES AGREE TO THE CONTENTS OF THE FOLLOWING PETITION TO MAKE OUR GRIEVANCES KNOWN TO THE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 

     "We, the undersigned owners of residential property in St. Louis County, Missouri believe that the recent 2007 property tax assessments, that will result in unconscionable increased tax levies, are onerous and burdensome on the citizens.  We believe that the levies are taxation without representation, and that they may be in violation of the Missouri and Federal Constitutions and laws, including the Hancock Amendment in some situations. Alternatively, we believe that new legislation should be enacted to cap the increase in taxes on any person's particular piece of property so that they cannot be arbitrarily taxed out of their home by the government.  The Hancock Amendment was enacted in part to limit the government's power to increase taxes without a vote of the people approving it.  In recent years, St. Louis County has continually assessed property tax increases in amounts and percentages that have sometimes even greatly exceeded the raise in the Consumer Price Index, which is the barometer for the Hancock Amendment cap on taxes.  In part, we are seeking a rollback of property taxes by the St. Louis County government for individual property owners in St. Louis County to receive tax relief - NOW!!!!"
