How these numbers are made
  • Property tax: State Auditor 2025 levies for the City of Boonville, Boonville R-I School District, Cooper County, Cooper County Public Health Center and Boonslick Regional Library District plus the state 3 cents; this sums to 6.7394% of assessed value, which on a $187,900 market value equals 1.28%. The county fire and nursing home districts were left out because they do not cover the city (the city runs its own fire department).
  • Value: Census median value times the 19 percent Missouri residential ratio.
  • Water and sewer: city rates page; the first 1,000 gallons are included in the monthly minimum, tiers are cumulative. The 2.75 percent city sales tax applies to water charges only; it is shown as a separate line computed on the water charge at the default 9 ccf (it varies with use). The variable fuel surcharge on trash and the annual state sewer fee (billed in January or February; the city page shows the amount only as an asterisk and the rule's table could not be retrieved) are not included.
  • Electric: Ameren Residential Anytime Service, 4 summer and 8 winter months weighted, plus the 0.445 cent per kWh Fuel Adjustment Rate from October 2026. Gas: Ameren customer and delivery charges plus the 64.94¢ per Ccf Total PGA in effect from 11/1/2025, the latest PGA filing found; a November 2026 change was not found. No Boonville electric or gas franchise or gross-receipts tax was found in published sources, so none is included.
  • Trash: $24.32 a month from the city sanitation rate. Insurance is the Missouri statewide average.
  • Boonville also charges 2.75% city sales tax on water charges (water page: 'Sales tax is based on water charges only. Residential customer – 2.750%'); it varies with use, so it is not a flat fee here.
  • Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
