Change of Tenant/Tenant Improvement Plans

The change of tenant permit and inspection process shall ensure compliance of the construction activity with the applicable building and fire codes for a new use and provide a Certificate of Completion for new businesses. An occupational (Business) License can only be issued with the prerequisite tenant change permit.
