Glasgow Use as Certificate of Occupancy ordinance (§ 503.080)
Chapter 503: Building Permits and Code Enforcement
In short: Once construction is finished, the building permit signed by the Building Inspector to show all four inspections passed serves as the certificate of occupancy. It must be presented to City offices before municipal utilities are connected, and franchised utilities can't start service without it.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
A. When the construction is completed, the building permit [with signature of the Building Inspector indicating the four (4) inspections have been completed satisfactorily] shall be used as a certificate of occupancy. The completed certificate will be presented to the City offices before any municipal utility service will be connected to or commenced at the completed structure.
1. No utility subject to a franchise within the limits of the City shall provide utility service unless first a certificate of occupancy is presented thereby permitting the commencement of such service.
