When is a Use and Occupancy Certificate required?
Prior to occupying any structure where a building permit is required, the owner is responsible for submitting a request to assure that all zoning, building and fire code requirements are satisfied. Similarly, on commercial and industrial properties, the property owner is responsible for submitting an occupancy certificate request whenever tenants change to assure all zoning regulations are satisfied. Any substantial alteration of a tenant space also requires a Use and Occupancy Certificate prior to occupancy. Contact the Planning Department with any questions about certificate needs.
