Property Management in Florissant, MO
The tightest rental submarket in the metro.
Florissant's post-war brick ranches rent fast, North County vacancy has run near two percent, and the city now requires an annual rental license on every unit. We handle the license and the permit, and we find the tenant.
Property management in Florissant
Florissant is about twenty to twenty-five minutes from our office at 920 First Capitol Drive in St. Charles, across the Highway 370 bridge. Roughly 18,000 of its houses were built between 1947 and 1980, mostly brick ranches in neighborhoods like Walnut Grove Hills and Pleasant Hollow, with Old Town and the St. Ferdinand historic district at the center. Zillow's home value index sat near $195,000 in late 2026, which puts the purchase price within reach of a first rental.
Demand is the story here. Northmarq put Florissant and North County vacancy near two percent in mid 2026, the tightest submarket in the region. Christian Hospital Northwest, the Hazelwood and Ferguson-Florissant school districts, and the employers around Lambert airport supply tenants, and a three-bedroom house listed in 2026 at roughly $1,600 to $1,700, with two-bedroom apartments near $1,100. The rent is lower than St. Charles County, and so is the price, and the ratio between them is what investors come here for.

Owning a rental in Florissant
- Annual rental license plus an occupancy permit
- Florissant requires a Residential Rental License for every rental unit, $50 per unit per year renewed by the end of January and revocable for code violations, and an occupancy permit with inspection before anyone moves in: $100 for a one- or two-family home and $50 per apartment unit. We keep both current.
- Seventy-year-old houses
- Post-war ranches are well built and simple, but sewer laterals, electrical panels, windows, and roofs are on their second or third cycle. We inspect before quoting and build a real reserve into the plan.
- No short-term rentals
- Florissant's code prohibits short-term rentals in residential districts, so a Florissant rental is a twelve-month lease or a furnished stay of thirty days or longer. We set properties up accordingly.
- Fast lease-ups
- With vacancy this low, a clean, correctly priced Florissant home usually leases within a couple of weeks of the occupancy permit clearing. The work is screening carefully rather than finding applicants.

Questions Florissant owners ask
You get a written quote for your specific property before anything is signed. Our leasing fee is half of the first month's rent rather than the full month most companies charge, and the monthly management fee is quoted as a flat percentage with no setup fee, no markup on maintenance, and no fee for an inspection that is already part of the job. The First-Month Test page shows how that difference adds up over a lease.
Most well-priced homes in Florissant lease within two to four weeks of listing once the occupancy permit is in hand. The usual delays are price, condition, and permit timing, and we address all three before the listing goes live so the property is not sitting vacant while a problem gets sorted out.
In most of the St. Louis area, yes. Many municipalities require an occupancy permit or inspection before a new tenant moves in, and the rules differ from one city to the next. We handle the application, schedule the inspection, and clear any items on the list, so the permit is ready when the tenant is.
Brad Touchette, the owner and a Certified Property Manager. Touchstone keeps its portfolio small on purpose, so the person who quoted your Florissant property is the same person who screens the tenant, handles the maintenance call, and sends your statement. There is no call center between you and your property.
Yes. We review the existing lease, introduce ourselves to the tenant, set up rent collection and maintenance reporting, and document the property's condition so there is a clear record from the day we take over. Nothing changes for a good tenant except who they call.
