Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION § 3-21-4
ANNUAL REGISTRATION
Operative Text
Following the initial registration period, rental residential dwelling buildings shall be registered as follows: (A) Every year on or before January 1, the registration for each rental residential dwelling building shall be renewed for the following year. (B) Newly constructed rental residential dwelling buildings shall be registered within thirty (30) days of first offering any rental residential dwelling unit within such rental residential dwelling building for rent. (C) A rental residential dwelling building sold, transferred or conveyed shall be reregistered by the new owner within thirty (30) days of the date of the deed, land contract, or other instrument of conveyance. At that time the rental residential dwelling units within such rental residential dwelling building will be removed from the previous owner's registration. (Ord. 634B, 7-9-2025)
Under Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 § 3-21-4, rental residential dwelling buildings must be registered on an ongoing annual basis, with renewals due by January 1 each year. Newly constructed rental buildings must be registered within 30 days of first offering any unit for rent. When a rental building changes ownership, the new owner must re-register the property within 30 days of the conveyance instrument's date, at which point the building is removed from the prior owner's registration.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental residential dwelling buildings in Creve Coeur must track three distinct registration triggers under § 3-21-4: the annual January 1 renewal deadline, the 30-day window following a new building's first rental offering, and the 30-day re-registration requirement after any sale or transfer. Compliant operators typically maintain calendar reminders for the annual renewal and build registration steps into their acquisition and new-construction checklists. Keeping documentation of deed dates, land contracts, or other conveyance instruments on file helps demonstrate timely compliance with the re-registration requirement.

Under Creve Coeur § 3-21-4, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their building is properly registered, as the provision requires landlords to maintain current registration at all times — including after a building is sold or transferred. If a building appears to be unregistered or a new owner has not re-registered within 30 days of a conveyance, tenants may consider contacting the Creve Coeur municipal authority responsible for rental registration to inquire about compliance. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Creve Coeur ordinances can help residents understand what remedies or protections may be available in connection with registration requirements.
