How these numbers are made

Property tax: St. Louis County 2025 rate book, tax code 116VV (Kirkwood School District, west of Berry Road), residential levies per $100 summing to $6.1904, applied to 19% of the Census median home value ($494,000). East of Berry Road homes are in the Webster Groves School District (code 134G, $6.7944 per $100); the Kirkwood area is modelled as the larger share.
The 2026 levies were not published when checked, so the 2025 rate book is used. Glendale's debt levy for Proposition S (approved April 2025) may raise the city levy.
Trash: Glendale bills a flat quarterly sanitation fee by city contract; the monthly rate table shows $35.14 for 2026 ($105.42 a quarter) while the text above it says $105.72 a quarter, and the table is used. The $50 yearly sewer lateral fee ($12.50 quarterly) is on the same city bill.
Water: Missouri American Water Rate A for St. Louis County ($11.00 per month, $10.3749 per 1,000 gallons) plus the $0.75071 per 1,000 gallons surcharge effective Aug. 15, 2026 and the $1.00 monthly service line charge. Sewer: MSD base charge $34.85 per month plus $7.15 per CCF of winter-quarter use.
Electricity: Ameren Missouri Schedule 1(M) with a 4/12 summer and 8/12 winter weighted energy rate. Gas: Spire Missouri delivery averaged over winter and summer plus the purchased-gas line. HOLD: Glendale levies a gross-receipts utility tax (FY2024 budget lists electric, gas, water and phone lines; Chapter 615 of the city code). The PSC's Missouri-American Water notice lists Glendale at 9.000%, but the Chapter 615 text (electric and gas rates) could not be opened, so no tax is added and the city is not to be published until it is. Insurance is the 2023 Missouri statewide average premium.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
