CERTIFICATES
OF OCCUPANCY
There
shall be a final inspection and approval of all buildings
and structures when completed and ready for occupancy and
use (California Building Code Section 108.4).
No
building or structure shall be used or occupied until the
building official has issued a certificate of occupancy (CBC
109.1).
Daly
City requires a certificate of occupancy (CO), an approved
final inspection for single-family dwellings or additions,
or a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) before any
building or portion thereof is used or occupied. This
includes moving in furniture, personal effects, stock or
merchandise.Certificate
of Occupancy
To
obtain a CO or final approval for single-family dwelling
related permits, obtain final inspections from all
jurisdictions that issued permits. This may include the
Building Division, Fire Department, Engineering Division and
Bayshore Sanitation District. If it involves a new building,
and there was design review, the Planning Division needs to
perform an inspection. If there were special inspections or
was structural observation, final reports must be provided.
When all jurisdictions have approved the work and final
reports have been provided, a CO will be issued and final
inspection approval will be made.
Please
note that while certificates of occupancy are not normally
issued for single-family dwelling related permits, they are
issued for secondary units.
In
some cases, it may be necessary to move in personal
possessions, stock merchandise or otherwise use a building
before the final approvals are obtained. In this case, a
temporary certificate of occupancy may be considered. A TCO
may be issued when the City Building Official determines the
building is safe for the proposed temporary use or
occupancy.Temporary
