Resident’s Guide


WELCOME TO THE VILLAGE

Here are some of the rules and ordinances of the Village of Glen Echo Park. A downloadable guide will soon be available.

  • Changes in occupancy of property in the Village require an inspection to be conducted via St. Louis County. Property must pass inspection BEFORE occupancy can be granted by the Village or BEFORE the sale of the property.
  • New residents require an occupancy permit BEFORE moving in.
  • Owners/rental agency must apply for the inspection BEFORE new rental occupancy.
  • Please allow several days to two weeks for the entire inspection and re-inspection process to be completed.

Follow the instructions carefully, St Louis County will NOT deliver you an occupancy permit. Only the Village can issue a valid permit with the embossed village seal.

First, schedule an inspection and pay the inspection fee with St Louis County (the Village is a contracted Municipality) – Inspection Application. Here is a check list to help getting ready for the inspection.

Once the inspection is passed, contact the Village Clerk via email to set up an appointment to obtain your Occupancy Permit. Please allow 48 hour response time. At your appointment, bring the following documents:

  1. Copy of a passed inspection report provided the St Louis County Public Works Dept.
  2. The Village Occupancy Permit Application with supporting documents
  3. A $50 application fee (check made payable to The Village of Glen Echo Park or cash accepted)

Upon receipt of all documents and fee, an occupancy permit will be provided to you allowing you to move in your new residence. Failing to provide all documents may result in significant processing delays.
