Since July 2007, all owner-occupied and rental housing in unincorporated St. Louis County requires a re-occupancy permit each time a new occupant moves in. SLCRO §1110.1045 requires disclosure of this requirement at conveyance or rental.
All rental, duplex, condo, or single-family units require a re-occupancy permit upon new-tenant move-in. Inspectors conduct interior and exterior inspection; the property must pass inspection, all paperwork completed, and the fee processed before issuance. Chapter 825 (Residential Rental Property License Code) layers additional licensing on multi-unit rentals.
Up to $1,000 fine; cease occupancy order; landlords may not collect rent on units occupied without a valid permit.
