Revenue Commission property assistance

The St. Clair County Revenue Commissioner handles property assessment and appraisal topics. The office page lists business hours as Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Property owners are responsible for reporting ownership changes, providing a correct mailing address, and assessing property with the Revenue Commissioner when required. Real property includes land and improvements such as a house, manufactured home, swimming pool, gazebo, chicken house, barn, or other items that add value to the property.

If you buy real property, the county guidance directs owners to record the deed in the Probate Judge’s Office, assess the property in the Revenue Commissioner’s Office, claim any exemption due, complete those steps by December 31 for property purchased by October 1, report address changes promptly, and make sure taxes are current.

Property changes and assessment notes

Owners who add or remove improvements must report those changes to the Revenue Commission Office by December 31. Changes made on or before October 1 are reflected on the next year’s tax statement, while changes made after October 1 may not appear until later.

Examples of assessable improvements include new structures, additions, swimming pools, extensive repairs, remodeling, renovations, a fireplace, extra bathroom, patio, deck, carport, or garage. Normal maintenance items such as re-roofing, minor repairs, and painting do not require reassessment.
