In order to receive a CO, the following must exist for the job: All final inspections have been completed with a "pass" disposition, including fire if applicable. All trade sub-permits, as well as other affiliated permits on the job, must be finaled.
How do I obtain a CO/CC? Once your final inspection has been approved and the applicable completion holds satisfied, you may apply, print or view certificates online at Certificate of Occupancy/Completion. Check applicable inspections and completion holds using your Permit Card and/or the Building permit records menu.
A Certificate of Use is a use permitted under a zoning district only if the use meets the criteria set forth in Sections 3-11 of the code. A Certificate of Use request is always accompanied by an official application, site plan, traffic analysis, and other supporting documentation.
In some municipalities, this means having a certificate of occupancy (often abbreviated to CO). Effectively, it's a special permit legally declaring that a property is habitable and meets all code and usage requirements.
Florida requires CONs within three broad categories—beds outside hospitals, facilities and services. In 2019, Florida passed sweeping CON law reforms and eliminated many of its CON requirements. Post-reform, Florida maintains 11 CON requirements.
