Business NOT involving construction permits or Change of Use

Businesses NOT Involving Construction Permits or a Change of Use  

When a business moves into a space where a construction permit is NOT involved or there is a NO Change of Use, the space requires a Commencement of Use Approval, Certificate of Life/Non-Life Hazard Use, and a Certificate of  Compliance prior to any business operations in that space. ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED ONLINE BY CLICKING THE ONLINE APPLICATION LINKS BELOW.  

Non-Condominium vs. Condominium Business Space

Much like a residential dwelling condominium (Condo), a Condominium Business Space is a space owned by a business within a larger subdivided building with a common area available to all other Condominiums. Although the required Certificates and Approvals are the same for that of a Non-Condominium space, the procedures and timing of obtaining these Certificates and Approvals are different. Following the links below for the appropriate business type space will guide you in the right direction. 

Non-Condominium Business Space

The Non-Condominium Business Space requires only two (2) online Applications, which are to be completed by the BUSINESS OWNER. In order to receive your required Approvals, both Applications must be submitted.

The Non-Life Hazard Registration for a Business Condominium (Business Registration) Application and the Zoning Commencement of Use Approval are to be completed by the OWNER OF THE NEW BUSINESS moving into the space.
