How to Order the St Louis County Code Inspection On-Line
Below is step by step instructions on how to apply on-line for the St Louis County Code Inspection. When you get to their application page, it might seem scary at first. But if you follow each step listed here, it should take less than 5 minutes. If you get to the county website and start to feel uncomfortable with the on-line application, then just ask for me to order it for you. Then sometime prior to closing, please reimburse me for the $80 fee. If your property is not vacant, I will need to know if you plan to attend the inspection appointment as required, or if you would like for me to do so. Attendance is not required on vacant properties, but if you want to attend anyway, please let me know and I will enter your name and phone number for the inspector to call from 7am to 8am. Otherwise I will indicate that access will be by lockbox on the vacant property.
To start the on-line application yourself, you will first have to register for a Free Citizen Account, which means simply creating a user name and password before you can begin. The last step will be to enter credit card information for payment, so have your card number ready. If you are needing me to attend the inspection as your property is not vacant, when you get to #9) Step 3 – ASI below, you will need to enter my name and phone number, instead of yours, as the person whom the inspector should call from 7am to 8am. To start the on-line application, click below. The website should open in a new tab so you can easily refer back to this instruction page.
