FAQ
How to Obtain a CO: You must file a Request for Certificate of Occupancy with Palm Beach County officials, who are on a deadline to respond. They must issue the CO within 10 days for most properties or 2 days for residential buildings. If authorities do not forward the CO, they must inform you of specific deficiencies.
A Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is issued for new construction or change of use (i.e. from a school to a restaurant), while a Certificate of Completion (CC) is needed for remodels, renovations and shell buildings.
The qualifier and/or the property owner for your permit must write a letter to the Planning, Zoning and Building Department indicating that he/she wishes to cancel the permit. The letter should include the permit number, the job site address, and the reason for the cancellation.
The Notice of Commencement shall be recorded in the office of the Clerk where the real property is located. A certified copy of the Notice of Commencement must be posted on the property. The property owner must sign the Notice of Commencement and no one else may be permitted to sign in his or her stead.
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.
An attorney who represents the purchaser should make sure that the contract states that the property will be conveyed without violations and that a valid certificate of occupancy is a condition to closing. Occupying premises without at least a temporary certificate of occupancy is unlawful.
You may download a domicile form or obtain one at any Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller location. Bring or mail the form to a Clerk's office location to be recorded. You must bring some form of legal identification if you need your document notarized.
