A building occupancy permit is a document that allows a building or structure to be used for its intended purpose. It is issued by the local government or building department after the building has been inspected and found to meet all applicable codes and regulations for safety and health. The permit ensures that a building is suitable for human occupancy and that it has been built to code, with proper plumbing, electrical work, and structural elements. It is typically required before a building can be used by occupants, such as tenants or employees.
