Important Notice -- Online Permit Portal Launches April 27th
Beginning on Monday, April 27th, 2026, the City of Glendale will transition to the MyGovernmentOnline (MGO) Connect platform for all permit applications, including Architectural Review Board.
As of April 27th, the City will no longer accept paper or emailed applications. Residents, builders and contractors can create a free account at www.mgoconnect.org using your preferred e-mail address. Simply select the ‘New Account’ link at the top of the page and enter the requested details.
In addition to the web-based platform, MGO Connect offers a mobile app that can be downloaded onto your mobile device. Simply go to the Apple App Store or the Google Play store for Android devices and search ‘MGO Connect’ to download the app to your mobile device.
Note about permits and inspections:
The City of Glendale contracts with the St. Louis County to handle all building permits and residential inspections. Residential inspections must be applied for/ordered through the City of Glendale directly (see the "Residential" section in the list below). St. Louis County requires municipal zoning approval as part of all building permit applications they review (see the "Construction" section in the list below).
