This page is under construction.
We are working to simplify the certificate of occupancy process by tailoring requirements to the situation.
Tier A
- A proposed new use matches both the building code use group and the zoning code use authorized by a previous CO.
- The CO was issued under a previous building code
- No construction or site work involved
- Then ----> Apply for a new CO; have the space inspected for building maintenance code compliance only; no floor plan is required.
Tier B
- A proposed new use fits within the building code use group but the zoning code use is different.
- No construction or site work involved
- Then ------> Apply for a new CO; have the space inspected for building maintenance code compliance only; no floor plan is required.
Tier C
- No CO exists for the building.
- No construction or site work is involved
- Then ----> Apply for a CO; a floor plan is required.
Tier D
- There is a CO, but the proposed new use was not authorized.
- No construction or site work is involved.
- Then ----> Apply for a CO; a floor plan is required.
Where construction is planned or required, a separate building permit will be required.
