How these numbers are made

Property tax: State Auditor 2025 levies (latest posted) for the City of Park Hills (general revenue 0.4819 + debt service 0.4100 per $100), Central R-III School District (3.0563 + 1.0473), St. Francois County road & bridge, general revenue, developmental disabilities board and senior services (county ambulance levy is 0), the county health center, and Mineral Area College. The state blind-pension 3 cents and any special road district are not included.
Value: Census median value times Missouri 19 percent residential ratio; no homestead exemption is modelled. The city's own tax page still lists an older city rate (0.6222 per $100); the State Auditor's 2025 city levies are used.
Water and sewer: city utilities page, $12.50 minimum plus $4.02 per 1,000 gallons; sewer $10.50 plus $2.39 per 1,000 gallons. Not stated by the city: a typical use, so the page default applies.
Trash: $13.25 per month comes from a city blog post dated November 4, 2022 (raise from $12); the city's garbage, utilities and taxes pages list no current trash fee and no newer ordinance or budget figure was found, so this is unconfirmed for 2026.
Electric: Ameren Missouri residential Anytime rate (sheet 54, effective June 1, 2025; the June 1, 2026 block on that file is for the time-of-day plan, not Anytime), $9.00 + $0.19 pilot charge, excluding riders/adjustments and taxes; summer/winter weighted (4 summer months, 8 winter). Gas: Spire Missouri East, as in nearby St. Francois County cities. Insurance is the St. Francois County average.
