Municipal Occupancy and Completion Certificate.
Notice for New Construction Builders and Owners
The Municipality is now offering a Municipal Occupancy and Completion Certificate.
This certificate will typically be used for new construction projects, but may also be
necessary for additions, relocations, change of occupancy classification and commercial
projects on a case-by-case basis.
New construction owners or builder/developers can apply for the certificate by going to
https://portal.laserfiche.ca/o8468/forms/occupancy
Once our safety codes team have confirmed that the owner or builder has completed:
- Development Approval and Development Permit Conditions met
- All applicable Safety Codes Permits and Approvals completed
(ie: building, electrical, gas, plumbing, psds, solid fuel source)
- Municipal utility accounts set up (water/sewer/garbage & taxes)
- Correct Civic Address posted clearly
The certificate will be issued via email to the applicant and kept on record in our office.
Please note: if you apply for a Certificate of Occupancy and Completion before you
move into your new property, there is no charge for this service. If you apply after
you’ve moved in, there will be a $500.00 fee. We encourage you to do the paperwork
before moving in!
