Welcome to Glendale!
Here are the steps you need to take as you’re getting ready to move into your new home:
Send in an application for a Housing Inspection
Before we can allow someone to live in a home, we have to make sure it’s up to code! Send in an application for a housing inspection through our online portal. The fee for the application is $110. The City contracts St. Louis County to do the inspections, so that’s who will be reaching out to the current owner!
Either the seller or the buyer has to apply for the housing inspection. This responsibility is to be decided on by the two parties or their representatives. The City requires is that the current owner (or their representative) applies for the inspection, whether before or after closing.
Send in an application for an Occupancy Permit
The inspection was passed! Now we’re ready to receive your occupancy permit, which will be filled out by the people moving into their future home. You can submit this application through our online portal.
Once we have both the passed inspection and the occupancy permit application for your new home, we will email your occupancy permit! Please reach out to City Hall if you need trash or recycling bins. We will use the information submitted to us on the occupancy permit to set up your refuse/sewer lateral program billing account.
A few notes:
- If you are a landlord and have a new tenant moving in, you must get a housing inspection done. Once this is passed, have your new tenants send in an occupancy permit application. Unless we are notified otherwise, utility billing will be switched over to the new tenant.
- If you haven’t received your failed inspection report, please call St. Louis County Public Works, as they don’t send over failed reports to the City.
- If you are moving into a newly built home, you don’t need a housing inspection with us but still need an occupancy permit.
