§ 17.12.020. Certificate of occupancy.

Subsequent to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title, no change in the use or occupancy of land, nor any change of use or occupancy in an existing building other than for single-family dwelling purposes, shall be made, nor shall any new building be occupied until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the building inspector. Every certificate of occupancy shall state that the new occupancy complies with all the provisions of this title. No permit for excavation for, or the erection or alteration of any building shall be issued before the application has been made and approved for a certificate of occupancy and compliance, and no building or premises shall be occupied until such certificate and permit is issued. A record of all certificates of occupancy shall be kept on file in the office of the building inspector, and copies shall be furnished on request to any person having a proprietary or tenancy interest in the land or a building affected by such certificate of occupancy.
