A certificate of occupancy, or CO, is the local government’s sign-off that a building is safe and legal to occupy for a specific use. For a business, it is the difference between legally operating and getting shut down. A space zoned and certified for offices may not be valid for warehousing or light manufacturing.
Why it trips up small businesses
When you lease raw space or change how a building is used, you may need a new CO, which can mean inspections, a build-out, and delays before you can open. Pair that with industrial zoning rules and the move-in timeline gets complicated fast.
