FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Attorney General’s Office assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on
their organization.
In response to a previous version, officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator
assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a
direct fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note.
In response to a previous version, officials from the City of Kansas City
could have a negative fiscal impact in an indeterminate amount.
Oversight is unable to determine any direct fiscal impact to the City of Kansas City; therefore,
Oversight will not reflect a fiscal impact.
Officials from the City of Springfield assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their
organization.
In response to a previous version, officials from the City of O’Fallon and City of Jefferson
assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other local political subdivisions were requested to respond to this proposed legislation
but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information
System (MOLIS) database is available upon request.
House Amendment 2
In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HB 962), officials from the Department of
Commerce and Insurance, Department of Economic Development, City of Kansas City and
City of Springfield each assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective
organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight
will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.
In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HB 1145), officials from the City of St. Louis
notes the Building Commissioner in the City of St. Louis estimates that 30-40% of Housing
Conservation District inspections occur because of a residential property sale. Eliminating the
requirement for these inspections could reduce Building Division revenue by up to $800,000. L.R. No. 1729H.01P

Oversight inquired of the City of St. Louis (STL) regarding their response. The STL stated that
their response falls under two municipal ordinances: 67914 regarding the City Housing
Conservation Program and 69202 regarding revised legislation on the City Housing
Conservation Program. According to ordinance 67914, Section 5C:
Upon determining that a dwelling unit has undergone a complete change of occupancy or a sale
of the property as reflected in the Recorder of Deeds Office without first obtaining a Certificate
of Inspection, the Code Official shall serve notice on the owner of such dwelling unit, by either
first class mail or personal service that a Certificate of Inspection must be obtained within thirty
(30) calendar days of notification or unit will be condemned for occupancy and must be vacated.
Section 8 states:
A. Fees for a Certificate of Inspection prior to occupancy when the application for
inspection is: 1. General inspection of exterior of building and all common areas and premises
plus one dwelling unit is $70.00. Each additional dwelling unit included in the General
Inspection, if inspection is performed within the same building and on a common date is $25.00
per each additional dwelling unit.
B. The fee for a Certificate of Inspection per unit which is unlawfully occupied shall be as
follows: 1. $110.00 per unit.
Oversight notes 98% of property in St. Louis is located in a Housing Conservation District.
Oversight will reflect a $0 to “Unknown” loss for local political subdivisions on the fiscal note. L.R. No. 1729H.01P
