How to Apply for Your Occupancy Permit Online
Step One: Verify that the residence has passed the housing inspection and a Certificate of Compliance has been issued. If the property does not have a certificate of compliance than you will not be able to apply for an occupancy permit until one has been obtained. Apartments are the only exception, and do not require a Certificate of Compliance in order to obtain an occupancy permit. Apartments are inspected every 3 years regardless of changes in occupancy.
Step Two: Complete the occupancy permit application in its entirety, sign, and email it back to the Customer Service Department at citymail@webstergrovesmo.gov. Applications that are not completely filled out will be denied and the occupancy permit will need to be reapplied for.

Step Three: Payment of $30 will be required in order to complete the application process. After your application has been submitted to Customer Service, it will be reviewed. An email will be sent to you with the instructions to pay online once the application is deemed complete. The application will not be processed, and the occupancy process will be incomplete if payment is not received.
