In certain municipalities in Missouri, property damage that requires extensive repair will also require permits and inspections for the work. Prior to moving into a new home, many areas will also require occupancy permits prior to allowing a new buyer or renter to reside within the home.
The following links are provided as a service to assist homeowners in locating the offices that can assist them to ensure that their contractors are properly licensed, that the required permits are obtained, and that the necessary inspections are provided.
Here are links to many of the Saint Louis County (and some other) municipality websites or contact information.

Same thing here in South Florida Jim. I see it quite often, especially with regard to the electrical system in the home. They require an electrical contractor pull what some refer to as a “safety” permit in order to proceed with turning on the electrical service.
