Overview
Businesses are required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) before acquiring a Business Registration. The Inspectors conduct the CO to assure compliance with the Fire Code. If deficiencies are found, the applicant corrects them before scheduling a re-inspection.

The Fire Department charges an inspection fee prior to conducting any CO Inspections.  Fire Inspection fees are paid during the CO Application Process.
