Smithville, Missouri, was once called "Smith's Mill," after its founder and his flour mill. Due to difficulties in pronunciation, the name of the town was changed to "Smithville."
Just 20 minutes north of Kansas City, Missouri, lies the tranquil burg of Smithville and its population of 8,425 (2010 U.S. Census data). A popular destination for weekenders craving outdoor excitement, Smithville boasts a 7,200-acre lake with 175 miles of shoreline for boating, swimming and other recreational activities such as camping or hunting. When they're not on the lake, residents can enjoy a stroll down memory lane in the historic downtown shopping district, where legendary outlaw and Missouri's favorite son Jesse James once trod. Low crime rates and ample amenities make Smithville one of the most attractive places in the Kansas City area for prospective residents. Bring your boat, and prepare to explore this exemplary community. See more
Finding an apartment in Smithville that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
