Application Process

1. Contact Town Hall or the town's code-enforcement administration to confirm the applicable permit or certificate-of-occupancy requirement.
2. For building-related work, apply for the building permit through the town's building-inspector process. Written application for a certificate of occupancy for a new or altered building is made at the same time as the application for the building permit.
3. For work in the public right-of-way, comply with Ordinance 144. Requires a permit before performing work in or under a city street, alley, sidewalk, parkway, or driveway within the city right-of-way.
4. After completion of work, request the required certificate of occupancy where applicable. Certificate of occupancy is to be issued within five days after the owner notifies the Building Inspector of completion, if the work conforms to the ordinance.

Typical processing time: Certificate of occupancy is issued within five days after the owner notifies the Building Inspector of completion, if work conforms to the ordinance.
