After completion of the work performed under an issued construction permit, a property owner or designee shall apply to the Construction Official for a certificate of occupancy or certificate of approval, as appropriate, in a manner consistent with and as required by the Uniform Construction Code. All improvements contemplated by the issued construction permit and as shown on any approved plans must be installed at the time of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy or certificate of approval, unless otherwise specified herein.

The fee for the certificate of occupancy or certificate of approval, as required by the Township Code, shall be paid to the Construction Official at the time a construction permit is issued.

Before a certificate of occupancy or a certificate of approval is issued, the Construction Official will perform an inspection to determine whether the work performed under the issued construction permit meets all of the requirements of the construction permit, the Uniform Construction Code and, if a Zoning Permit was required, shall require the applicant to obtain a certificate of zoning compliance from the Zoning Officer.

If a certificate of zoning compliance was issued, then a certificate of occupancy shall specify the use of the land or building and any circumstances or conditions recited in the certificate of zoning compliance.

If a zoning permit was issued, a certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until a certificate of zoning compliance is issued by the Zoning Officer. A temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued before a certificate of zoning compliance is issued in accordance with the Uniform Construction Code.
