Higher property taxes have been concerning some St. Louisians recently. Now the Missouri Senate is addressing those issues.
Rebecca Gannon has more in Jefferson City.
The highly anticipated property tax bill finally hit the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon.
The bill proposed by Senator Gibbons of Kirkwood is meant to help, not hurt, taxpayers.
The bill requires physical inspections of the property, rather than the "drive by" inspections of the past. Gibbons said the old inspections often resulted in skyrocketing property assessments, translating into tax hikes.
The bill also proposes a five percent cap on any tax assessment increase.

Senators from across Missouri are discussing the property tax bill that has many St. Louisians concerned.
Senator Gibbons of Kirkwood proposed the bill that ensures tax payers will not pay more than a five percent tax increase on their property.
As Senator Gibbons describes, some citizens have felt a large tax increase recently, but this property assessment cap will soften any hard-hitting tax blows.
In addition to the five percent property tax cap, the bill also requires a physical inspection of the prpoerty instead of so called "drive by" inspections.
