What is Certificate of Occupancy?

This is a document that is issued by a local government agency to certify that a building or structure is safe and suitable for occupancy. A certificate of occupancy is typically required before a building can be used or leased, and it may be necessary to obtain a new certificate if the use of the building changes or if significant renovations are made.
