# Stump removal in the older St. Charles districts

St. Charles has several National Register historic districts near the river. If your stump is in one of them, the practical issues are usually access and neighbors, not the stump itself. This page lists what we could confirm and what we could not.

## The districts, by the numbers

- **St. Charles Historic District (Main Street):** 63 contributing buildings on 47 acres, according to the [National Register summary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Charles_Historic_District).
- **Frenchtown:** 205 contributing buildings, roughly between N. 5th Street, Clark and French Streets and the Missouri River ([summary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenchtown_Historic_District)).
- **Lindenwood Neighborhood:** listed in 2016 with 108 contributing buildings, described as an exclusively residential district ([summary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindenwood_Neighborhood_Historic_District)).
- **Commons and Midtown:** also listed districts ([Missouri State Parks list](https://mostateparks.com/basic-page/missouri-national-register-listings/St.Charles)).

## What to expect

We have no field data on every lot, so these are general points to raise with a pro, not facts about your street:

- Older lots can have narrow side access, so a wide self-propelled grinder may not fit. Measure the gate or the gap and put it in your request.
- Brick or stone walks, old walls and close fences are easy to damage. Ask how the pro protects them.
- Older buried lines may be unmarked. See [our 811 page](https://st-charles-stump-removal.vercel.app/call-811-before-stump-work) and point out anything you know about.
- Neighbors share the noise and the chips. A heads-up helps.

## What we could not confirm

We did not find a published rule that ties tree or stump work on private property to historic review in these districts. That is an absence of evidence, not a ruling. If the stump touches a larger exterior project, ask City Hall (636-949-3200).

## Common questions

### Do I need a permit to remove a stump in a historic district?

We did not find a published City of St. Charles rule that requires a permit to grind a stump on private property, and we could not locate the relevant section of the city code. The city's Permits page lists only engineering permits. If the stump is part of a larger exterior project, call City Hall at 636-949-3200 and ask.

### Which districts are these?

The National Register lists the St. Charles Historic District (Main Street), Frenchtown, the Lindenwood Neighborhood, the Commons and Midtown, among others.
