Occupancy of Buildings
No commercial building will be occupied without a Certificate of Occupancy (CO).
Commercial Certificate of Occupancy
- To ensure the safety of a building before it is occupied, the City will issue two separate COs. The first CO is issued by the Inspections Department, and the second is issued by the Fire Department.
- The Inspections CO is issued for new construction and/or for an existing building that is changing its use. CO requests can be made by contacting Jessica Freeman. Before an Inspections CO can be issued, as-builts must be submitted and approved by the City. It is important to have the as-builts turned in for review in a reasonable amount of time before the request is made for a CO. To issue the Inspections CO, it must be requested by the permit holder, who in most cases is the general contractor. The required inspections for commercial COs are as follows:
- Zoning
- Engineering
- Fire
- Water and Sewer
- Landscape
- The Fire Department CO is to post-occupancy load and ensure current life safety code requirements. For more details on the Fire Department CO, call (229) 247-2320 ext. 133.
- Once both COs are obtained (if required), the company's representative can apply for a business license.
