Creve Coeur CHAPTER 21 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION § 3-21-3
INITIAL REGISTRATION
Operative Text
All rental residential dwelling buildings must be registered with the village. Owner occupied dwellings, including dwellings occupied by the buyer under a contract for deed, are excluded from the registration requirement. A dwelling is not considered to be owner occupied if the owner does not reside in the dwelling, even if occupied by immediate family members of the owner (when the owner does not also resides in the same dwelling) and regardless of whether actual consideration is paid to the owner. Within thirty (30) days after first offering any rental residential dwelling unit for rent within the village of Creve Coeur, the owner or agents of the owner of each rental residential dwelling building located within the limits of the village of Creve Coeur shall register each such rental residential dwelling building with the village clerk, identifying all rental residential dwelling units contained within each such rental residential dwelling building, on a form to be provided by the village. Each registration is only valid for a maximum period of one (1) calendar year. (Ord. 634B, 7-9-2025)
Under Creve Coeur Chapter 21, § 3-21-3, every rental residential dwelling building in the village must be registered with the village clerk. Owner-occupied dwellings — including those under a contract for deed — are exempt, but a property is not considered owner-occupied simply because a family member lives there if the owner does not also reside on the premises. Each registration is valid for up to one calendar year and must identify all rental units within the building.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-21-3, compliant rental property owners or their agents register each rental residential dwelling building with the Creve Coeur village clerk within 30 days of first offering any unit for rent. The registration form, provided by the village, requires identifying all rental units within the building. Because each registration expires after one calendar year, operators generally track renewal deadlines to maintain continuous compliance.

Section § 3-21-3 establishes that rental buildings in Creve Coeur are subject to a village registration requirement, which is a baseline accountability measure for rental housing in the community. Tenants who are uncertain whether their building is properly registered may contact the Creve Coeur village clerk's office to inquire about registration status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available if a landlord is found to be operating outside the registration framework.
