1. When do I need a Certificate of Occupancy (C/O)?

Certificate of Occupancy shall be required for any:

• Change in business, ownership or management within a building
• Occupancy and use of a building hereafter erected or structurally altered
• Change of use of an existing building to a use of a different classification

No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made, until the Building Official has issued a Certificate of Occupancy.

2. How much does a Certificate of Occupancy (C/O) cost?

The cost of a Certificate of Occupancy is $100. The fee will be due once the application and all documentation has been reviewed by the Building Inspection Department and Fire Department. On permitted new construction, addition or remodel, a Certificate of Occupancy is issued at the completion of the project at no charge.
