Florissant Saint Louis Ban on OOS Investors

David Acconcio
Posted

I just saw an old BiggerPockets post where someone mentioned that this suburb of St. Louis requires that a landlord renting a house to live within 50 miles of the town. Can anyone confirm this? Is this more for short term AirBNB stuff? 

I'm planning on making my first offer ever on a house and not sure if this means I have to cross Florissant off of the list.

Thank you

Hey @David Acconcio yes the city of Florissant (municipality of St. Louis County, MO) requires landlords to get a "Rental License" in which they charge the landlord $50 per year.  It is a hotly debated topic in St. Louis.  I'm including a link to the rental license application in which they require you to document a property manager that lives within 50 miles of the home.  So if you want to self manage you still need to list someone that is in town that can be a contact for Florissant if they can't get a hold of you.  Frustrating to say the least.
