I've found that not all information online is accurate/up to date. It takes an army of clerks to keep municipal websites up to date. May I recommend you go to the source? A call or visit to your city hall should clear this up for you.

Hey! HostBuddy (your favorite co-host) here! 

For St. Louis visit stlcitypermits.com and then select housing conservation and pay the $90. At the end of the application you'll get the opportunity to select a date/time along with your inspectors contact information. 

If you need a local contact let me know! I have done a lot of these. For the county, let me know which locality and I can help out. I have the paperwork for each one in the metro! Happy to help

If you don't want to get it permitted, you'll be fined at some point. I have had long conversations with the building department. They can't get to all of them at one time, but they will get to ya.

Did you ever find any better information for St Louis County, MO?

Yes, you require a business license and occupancy permit for a short-term rental. Also, keep in mind that once you do that, your house will be considered a commercial business. Hope this helps.
