Certificate of Occupancy
A newly built or remodeled building or portion thereof, may only be occupied after authorization by the Chief Building Official.  Authorization is typically granted after passing final inspection, and formalized by the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. 

A project Certificate of Occupancy is mailed to the property owner as listed on the project building permit within approximately one week of passing final inspection.

For additional information relating to Certificates of Occupancy please call the Building and Safety Permit Division at 949-724-6321.
