Development Services customers who need a residential certificate of occupancy (CO) will now be able to print the certificate from the permit and development portal. Once all permits for a project are complete, and if there are no holds or fees due, the system will automatically create a CO and attach it to the record in the portal.
The process for a non-residential CO remains the same: The CO application must be submitted in-person or via email and will undergo a five-day review process.
More information on the CO process is available on the City of Raleigh website.
