Wedgwood Subdivision was built in phases in the 1960’s. There were 13 sections or ‘plats’, and each had its own indenture.

In 2021, the 13 original indentures were unified into one; the terms and conditions stated in the single subdivision trust indenture apply to all 1,206 properties in Wedgwood Subdivision.

A subdivision trust indenture sets out the physical boundaries of the subdivision, describes the responsibilities and powers of the homeowner’s association and details the rules and procedures by which the subdivision operates. Indentures are in place to protect the aesthetics and value of a neighborhood.

In unincorporated St. Louis County, indentures are binding upon every property owner in a subdivision operating under an indenture. Additionally, all subsequent or future owners of property in a deed- restricted subdivision are required to abide by the indenture as well.

The indentures are recognized by the State of Missouri and recorded with the St. Louis County Recorder of Deeds.
