Affton is an unincorporated community in south St. Louis County, just past the city line and home to the Oakland House. With no city hall of its own, questions go to the county, which makes the permit step a little different from its neighbors.

Homes in Affton
Largely modest suburban houses, many in brick, on small lots. The brick-and-trim mix means a wood fascia up top and masonry below, so the gutter and downspout fix to two very different materials.
Trees, debris and your gutters
Established yard trees are widespread, often right up against small roofs, so short runs fill faster than the house size suggests.
Ground and drainage
Mostly gentle slopes on small lots. Basements are common, and neighbors are close, so spend some thought on where a downspout ends.
What to check in Affton
- Check that downspouts on brick walls are firmly fixed, not hanging from one strap.
- Keep small roofs under big trees clear before the first freeze.
- Extend downspouts away from basement walls.
- Ask the county before assuming no permit is needed.
Do you need a permit in Affton?
Affton is unincorporated, so building questions go to St. Louis County Transportation and Public Works. The county says many like-for-like replacements are handled as over-the-counter permits. Ask whether yours needs one.
