Although the housing market may be picking up, assessed home values in St. Louis are expected to decline for the third time in a row.
St. Louis County's first elected assessor, Jake Zimmerman says preliminary computer models show values dipping slightly. Zimmerman told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that human assessors may tweak the figures after examining individual homes.
He says anyone whose assessed property value increases will be notified by mail right away so that there's plenty of time for an appeal before the bills go out in the fall.

Quinn signs off on extra roads, child abuse funding
Friday, 08 February 2013 02:54 Published in Local News
Hundreds of millions of dollars is on the way for Illinois road projects and child abuse investigators.
Governor Pat Quinn signed a supplemental appropriation bill Thursday evening that's meant to shore up parts of state government that are running short of money half-way through the budget year.
It includes $675 million in unanticipated federal and state money available for road projects this spring. It also shifts $25 million saved from Quinn's closure of correctional facilities to the Department of Children and Family Services.
Republicans have complained the bill was rushed.
