CO Questions

Why do I need a CO or Certificate of Completion?

A permit is only the start. Most building jobs end with a final inspection and a certificate from your town, city or village. Without it, the work can still show as open or unapproved on your property's record. That can cause problems when you sell or refinance.

What's the difference between a Certificate of Occupancy and a Certificate of Completion?

Both are issued by your municipality after final approval. Which one you get depends on the type of work and your town's process. We'll tell you which applies to your job.

My house is old and the CO doesn't match what's there. Can you fix that?

Yes. We review the records and handle the legalizations and filings needed to bring the record up to date.

Can you get a CO for work that's already finished?

Often, yes, by legalizing the work and taking it through inspections.

Do you handle commercial certificates?

Yes, including after a change of use. See Commercial & Change of Use.

Don't wait until you get a violation

Open permits and violations can stall a sale, a refinance or a CO. Let us fix it before it becomes a problem.
