St. Louis County Occupancy Permit When Selling
Occupancy in St. Louis County is a County or municipal inspection, not the City of St. Louis Housing Conservation file. The city on the tax bill can have its own office even when the County also has a form.
This page is the County-permit question. City notices belong on selling with City code violations. Failed inspections: failed occupancy.
Where the rule lives
Official County page: occupancy permit applications. Fees and timing change. Use that page.
Many small cities (Ferguson, Jennings, Pine Lawn, Maplewood, University City) run their own occupancy desk. Call the hall on the bill. Do not mail a County form to the City Building Division.
Plain-English walk-through of both: occupancy permits by municipality.
What a cash sale changes
A financed buyer usually needs a clean occupancy to get a loan and insurance. A cash buyer can close as-is while a punch list is still open. Who pays to clear it later is a contract line, not a website promise.
We still want to see the inspection if you have one. We buy the house in its present condition. Sell as-is.
What to send us
- The city on the tax bill
- Any inspection report or notice
