Helpful local rules

Arnold inspection steps, Missouri estate sales, and closing charges

Arnold home-sale inspections and occupancy permits

For a home inside Arnold city limits, the City says an existing-structure inspection applies when the house is sold or a new tenant moves in. A new resident or tenant also needs an occupancy permit. Call Building and Code Compliance at 636-282-2378 to ask about the address and next step.

Arnold City requirements apply within the City. Not sure which office covers the house? Call us — we’ll sort it out with you.

Who can sell an inherited Missouri house?

The court-appointed personal representative—not an heir acting alone—is generally the person who sells estate real estate. In independent administration, the representative can generally sell without a separate court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. A sale in supervised administration generally follows a court order. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the executor may sell under that power.

For local probate filing information, contact the Jefferson County Circuit Clerk. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Missouri transfer taxes and deed-recording fees

The Missouri Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees are separate: state law sets a county Recorder fee of $5 for the first deed page and $3 for each additional page, plus other per-document fees. The title company or closing professional can confirm the exact recording charges for your documents.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
