SOULARD SPECIAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
Approved by a vote of residents in the 7th Ward, the Soulard Special Business District was set up to levy a
property tax to provide additional security for the neighborhood. (District boundaries are Interstate 55,
Park Avenue, Mississippi River, Barton to 7th to Victor to 11th to Sidney streets.) The approximate cost is
$0.50 per $100,000 assessed valuation per property - An incremental line item tax is included on each
property owners’ year-end property tax bill from the City of St. Louis. Tax revenue is collected by the
City of St. Louis and then disbursed to the District. The voters approved increases up to a maximum of
$0.85. The funds are administered by a volunteer Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor of
the City of St. Louis and selected by request of the 7th Ward Alderman and current Board.
The funds are primarily used to hire off-duty police and security to patrol the District. GCI Security is
currently contracted to provide the patrols. The hours and the number of officers patrolling fluctuate
to meet the needs and budget of the district. To report any emergency, crime or suspicious activity or
person, call 9-1-1. The officers working security carry police radios and will respond to calls dispatched
within the District and will assist 3rd District officers. The SSBD sponsors the 3rd District Substation at 11th and Barton streets, and additional safety related
projects are sponsored or co-sponsored as the need arises such as providing car clubs to residents and
employees in the district, providing light bulbs for porch lights and others. Additional information can
be found at the SSBD website soulard-sbd.org, and questions may be directed to the SSBD Board at by
email at info@soulard-sbd.org or by phone at 314-737-7988.
Be advised that neither the phone nor e-mail is for emergency use, as they are not monitored on a regular
basis. All emergency or urgent matters should be reported by calling 9-1-1.
