COUNTY INSPECTORS ASSESSING FLOOD DAMAGE IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS

Inspectors with the St. Charles County Department of Community Development today began systematic assessments of homes and businesses in unincorporated areas of the county damaged by this week’s torrential rain and flooding. Using information from the National Weather Service, staff are inspecting the exterior of structures in flooded areas and, once exterior damage is identified as likely to have resulted in damage to the interior of the structure, residents will be notified about the proper procedures for obtaining interior inspections and permits for repair work. If you have questions about inspections, permits or debris not covered by insurance, call one of the appropriate numbers listed below.
