Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION § 3-21-10
PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY
Operative Text
Failure to register a rental residential dwelling building within the applicable time period prescribed in this chapter shall subject an owner to a fine of not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00) and not more than seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) per unregistered rental residential dwelling unit. Every day a rental residential dwelling building remains unregistered in violation of the provisions of this Chapter shall constitute a new and separate violation. The submission of false information on a rental residential dwelling building registration form constitutes a separate and discrete offense from failure to register and shall subject an owner to a fine not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00) and not more than seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) per rental residential dwelling unit. (Ord. 634B, 7-9-2025)
Under Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 § 3-21-10, property owners who fail to register a rental residential dwelling building within the required timeframe face fines ranging from $200 to $750 per unregistered unit, with each day of continued non-registration counting as a separate violation. Separately, submitting false information on a registration form is treated as its own distinct offense, carrying fines of $500 to $750 per rental unit. These two types of violations — failure to register and false filings — are independent of each other and can each result in their own penalties.

Operators subject to Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 § 3-21-10 generally ensure that every rental residential dwelling building is registered within the timeframes the chapter prescribes, since each day of non-compliance can be treated as a new violation carrying per-unit fines of up to $750. Compliant operators also take care that all information submitted on registration forms is accurate and complete, as submitting false information constitutes a separate offense with its own fine schedule of $500 to $750 per unit. Maintaining organized records of registration submissions and confirmation documents is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate timely and accurate compliance.

Under Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 § 3-21-10, tenants living in rental buildings have an interest in knowing whether their building is properly registered, since an owner's failure to register — or submission of false registration information — can expose that owner to significant per-unit, per-day fines. If a tenant has reason to believe their building is unregistered or that false information was submitted, they may consider contacting the local municipal authority responsible for administering the residential rental registration program to inquire about a building's status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Creve Coeur's local ordinances can help tenants understand what options may be available to them under § 3-21-10.
