In November 2020, the Creve Coeur City Council established a new Building Permit Task Force to identify areas of concern and opportunities for improvement within the City’s building and permit inspection services to better meet the needs of the community. The Building Permit Task Force has 10 appointed members consisting of representatives from various Creve Coeur boards, committees and City Council that meet monthly to review the City’s building permitting and inspection services. 

The Building Permit Task Force is hosting a virtual public forum for residents on Tuesday, May 18, at 6:30 p.m., as well as a virtual public forum for contractors on Tuesday, May 25, at 4:00 p.m. During the public forum, attendees will have an opportunity to share feedback on their experience with the permitting process, as well as share suggestions for improvements.

Creve Coeur residents are also encouraged to provide feedback through an online survey, available through Friday, June 4. 

On an ongoing basis, the City also collects feedback from residents and contractors about the permitting process through a survey sent at the conclusion of each permitting application. Using this existing survey data, as well as the citizen input collected through the public forum and online survey, the Building Permit Task Force will develop a final report at the end of its one-year term with recommendations for improving the permit applicant’s overall experience.
