St. Louis does not impose annual night caps on short-term rentals. Both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied STRs can operate year-round if properly permitted and zoned. HOAs may impose separate limits.
The St. Louis STR ordinance does not impose annual night caps. Operators may rent year-round so long as the property is permitted, insured, inspected, and located in a zoning district where STR use is allowed. Some residentially-zoned districts may limit non-owner-occupied STRs through conditional use requirements, but the permitted rentals are not subject to a 90-night or 120-night cap like in other cities. HOAs and condominium associations may impose their own limits through CC&Rs and governing documents, so operators in buildings with shared ownership structures must check association rules before listing.
