Meetings will be held the 3rd Tuesday of the month.  Due to the current pandemic, the meetings have been held virtually through Webex.  See website for more information.  Under normal circumstances, the meeting are held at the Parish Center at St. John Paul II Catholic Church (formally known as St. George) from 7 – 9 pm (4974 Heege Road, 63123).  All residents are encouraged to attend.

Occupancy Permits

When a change of occupancy takes place at any dwelling in Wilbur Park, whether the dwelling is to be rented or sold, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to request an inspection through the Building & Roads Commissioner (Mike Edwards).  There is no charge for the inspection.

Building Permits

A permit must be secured for all additions or improvements.  Repairs on existing structures do not require a permit, such as roofs/windows/driveways/sidewalks.  Please call Mike Edwards, if a permit is necessary or if you have any questions.

  • Never leave a running vehicle unattended.
  • Don’t leave valuables in your car.  If you do, make sure they are kept out of plain sight.  Hide them under a blanket, or better yet, lock them in your trunk.

Neighborhood Watch Program

The Village of Wilbur Park is now part of the Neighborhood Watch Program.  Our coordinator is Linda Noel.  Her contact information is lnoel@wilsonschool.com.  Please email her with your name, address and email address and she will put you on the list to receive any important information that is pertinent to Wilbur Park and/or the Affton area.  The purpose of the neighborhood watch program is to reduce crime through citizen involvement and police cooperation.  The members of the neighborhood watch program are ultimately the eyes and ears of their neighborhood for each other and the St. Louis County Police Department in a cooperative effort to keep it safe.  The officer contact at the Affton Precinct will email information to Linda and she will pass it along to all of those who wish to participate.

Facebook

The Village of Wilbur Park now has a Facebook page.  Please “Like” our page.  We are hoping that this will be another form of communication for the village.
