Procedure for Building, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Drainlaying, and Land Disturbance Permits Applications/Approvals May 6, 2022 The St. Louis County Satellite Offices (North, South, and West) are closed to all persons except designated employees. No business may be transacted at any of these satellite offices. Applying for a building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and drainlaying permits: A drop-off service to submit plans is located inside the east street level entrance of the St. Louis County Lawrence K. Roos Administration Building located at 41 S. Central Avenue, Clayton MO, 63105. For faster service we strongly recommend logging into the Permitting Portal (also known as Accela Citizen Access or ACA) found at the Department of Transportation and Public Works website page located at https://stlouiscountymo.gov and complete the on-line permit application. You may also access Accela Citizen Access directly by clicking on https://aca.stlouisco.com/CitizenAccess/Default.aspx You will receive an email confirmation explaining the process for submission to our office. The email will have an attached cover sheet with the assigned permit application number. Print the cover sheet and attach it to the four copies of plans being submitted as per the directions in the email confirmation. Plans shall be placed inside the rolling tote labeled “Transportation and Public Works” located past the foyer of the building. One may also use this rolling tote to resubmit revised plans for projects currently being reviewed. It is important these submissions/resubmissions are properly assembled, bound and collated into four (4) identical sets of plans. It is also important to clearly indicate the intended recipient of the plans by placing the cover sheet with the permit application number (obtained from the automatic generated email from the Permitting Portal) on the outside of the single roll (all four (4) sets rolled together if physically possible) so it is readable without unrolling the plans. If the plans are a resubmission, please complete the sheet titled “Additional Information Revised Plans” found at the end of this guide (or if reading online, the last page of the link) and wrap it around the outside of the roll of plans. For new submissions, if you have not completed the on-line application before arriving, you may submit the four (4) sets of plans with a paper permit application, filled out in its entirety, wrapped around the outside of the plans and placed in the rolling tote labeled “Transportation and Public Works.” Paper applications are not available on street level. If you are submitting with a paper permit application, you must print and complete the application prior to arrival to the drop off service per the instructions below.
For persons wanting to submit a paper permit application with their four (4) sets of plans, visit: https://stlouiscountymo.gov and navigate to Departments/Transportation & Public Works/Residential Building page and look for the appropriate application under Residential Permit Applications.
