When/How do I get a Certificate of Occupancy?

A Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) is issued for new construction and for change of use only. No building shall be occupied without benefit of a Certificate of Occupancy. A C.O. will not be issued until all required permits have been obtained, all required paperwork is on file, and a final building inspection has been approved. Some zoned properties also require a final site inspection to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Department.

DO NOT EXPECT the C.O. to be issued on the same day as the final inspection. Please allow up to two business days after the approved final inspection has been completed for processing and issuance of the C.O. The C.O. will be emailed to the permit holder.

*Notes: 

  • C.O.s are issued for new construction of buildings.
  • C.O.s are issued for buildings with a change of use (ex. an office building converted to a restaurant).
  • C.O.s are not issued for additions, alterations, repairs, accessory structures, manufactured homes, or modular buildings.
