What’s the difference between a Building Permit and a Certificate of Occupancy?
A Building Permit, which is issued after an application is reviewed by the Building Department, allows the work to be done. No work can begin until the Building Permit is issued. Before the structure can be used, all inspections must be completed satisfactorily and a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Building Department.
