Certificate of Occupancy
A Certificate of Occupancy is required any time a new business opens,
there is an ownership change of an existing business or an existing business relocates or changes names.
This insures that the property is properly zoned for the type of business that will locate there and to insure that the building is safe to occupy.
This certificate is required of ALL commercial businesses.
For home based businesses, a certificate is required to insure that the type of business meets the guidelines as set forth in
Ordinance 236, Section 106-1124.
