Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXIX. Ownership and Conveyance of Property § 448.1-106. Applicability of local ordinances, regulations, and building codes

1. Except as provided in subsection 2 of this section, no zoning, subdivision, building code, or other real estate use law, ordinance, or regulation may prohibit the condominium form of ownership or impose any requirement upon a condominium which it would not impose upon a physically identical development under a different form of ownership. Otherwise, no provision of sections 448.1-101 to 448.4-120 invalidates or modifies any provision of any zoning, subdivision, building code, or other real estate use law, ordinance, or regulation.

2. Subsection 1 of this section shall not apply to any ordinance, rule, regulation, charter provision, or contract provision relating to the financing of housing construction, rehabilitation, or purchases provided by or through a housing finance program established and operated pursuant to state or federal law by a state or local agency or local unit of government or to any ordinance which has as its purpose the application or enforcement of minimum housing standards.

3. For purposes of providing marketable title, a statement in the declaration showing that the condominium is not subject to an ordinance or showing that any conditions required under an ordinance have been complied with shall be prima facie evidence that the condominium was not created in violation of such ordinance.

4. A violation of an ordinance adopted pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2 of this section shall not affect the validity of a condominium. This subsection shall not be construed to in any way limit the power of a county or municipality to enforce the provisions of an ordinance adopted pursuant to subsection 2 of this section.
