The process to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy is as follows:
RESIDENTIAL
- For all new construction residential dwellings, a Certificate of Occupancy is issued when the dwelling is completed and the final inspection has been done. These Certificate of Occupancy’s are issued upon the request of the contractor and are no charge.
COMMERICAL
- For all new commercial structures, a Certificate of Occupancy is issued when the structure is completed and the final inspection has been done. These Certificate of Occupancy’s are issued upon the request of the contractor and are no charge.
- For all existing commercial structures, an application must be made in writing to the Chief Building Official. The Building Official will then coordinate with other City Departments, if necessary, to schedule a time for a walk-through inspection. After the walk-through inspection, if the structure is in compliance with all of the building and zoning codes, the Certificate of Occupancy will then be issued to the applicant upon the payment of a $100.00 fee.
