St. Louis STR registration requires Building Division application, safety inspection, insurance proof, and tax registration with the Collector of Revenue. Permits are annual and non-transferable on sale.
The registration process includes: (1) file STR permit application with the Building Division including property address, owner information, floor plan, and local contact; (2) pass Building Division safety inspection (smoke alarms, CO detectors, egress, electrical); (3) submit certificate of insurance meeting the $500,000 minimum; (4) register with the Collector of Revenue for sales, convention, and tourism taxes; (5) for non-owner-occupied STRs, some neighborhoods may require notice to adjacent property owners through aldermanic review. Permits are tied to a specific owner at a specific address and do not transfer on sale. The permit number must be displayed in all listings.
Operating without registration: listing takedown notice plus $100 to $500 per day. Transferred permit: voided at closing, new owner must reapply.
