1. Which Residential Certificate of Occupancy do I need?

Temporary

Grants temporary power for 45 days, during which no one can occupy, so that repairs can be made.

Regular

A regular Certificate of Occupancy is required before anyone can occupy.

2. Why is a Certificate of Occupancy required?

The Town Council passed the 2009 Building Code which requires that an inspection be done when the occupancy changes.

3. What is the Certificate of Occupancy process?

1. Submitting the Application:
   • Once the application has been filled out it will need to be submitted by fax, email, or in person at Town Hall.
2. Paying for the Inspection:
   • You will need to contact Town Hall once the application has been submitted to make payment for the inspection.
3. Scheduling the Inspection:
   • Once the application and the inspection fee have been received, the Town's inspector will schedule an inspection. If a lockbox code has been provided on the application the inspector will inspect the property without scheduling an inspection unless an inspection has been requested.
4. Results of the Inspection:
   • You will be contacted with the results of the inspection.
   • If the inspection passes, a release will be sent to CoServ at which point you will need to call CoServ.
   • If the inspection fails, you will need to correct the issues that caused the failure and then make payment for a re-inspection before the inspector will go back out to the property.
