OSPCD FAQ

Question: How do I know if my locations is "Up to Code?"

Answer: If your business plans include remodeling or building out space you should speak with the Inspectional Services Department (ISD), so we can guide you or your contractor through the local and state building code requirements. Once your space is prepared, you will be able to apply for a Certificate of Occupancy.


Note: You may need to obtain a special permit or variance prior to commencing work on your space as well. For a typical, average sized project, the planning review and permitting process may take from two to six months.
