What is a Certificate of Business Occupancy?

A Certificate of Business Occupancy is required for all new business, changes in use or occupancy of a space.

Certificate of Business Occupancy is required by the Town BEFORE any business can be open to the public.

Before a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued for that business, the premises must be inspected by a building inspector to ensure there are no life safety issues and all inspection fees must be paid.
