St. Louis Hills Directory 2026

20 2026 | St. Louis Hills Community Directory St. Louis Hills Special Business District On August 8, 2023, voters in St. Louis Hills approved the creation of a Special Business District (SBD), which allows the neighborhood to levy a tax on property owners in the district to fulfill multiple initiatives. The areas of funding include security, park, and infrastructure improvements. The district is bound by Chippewa Street to the north, Hampton Avenue to the east, Gravois Avenue to the south, and River Des Peres Boulevard to the west. Property owners are assessed 35 cents per $100 of assessed value, with a cap of $250 per property. The district is expected to generate approximately $500,000 per year for neighborhood improvements. A seven-member board–five property owners and two renters–will oversee the SBD with input from individuals and organizations within the neighborhood.
