Certificate of Occupancy
The building permit and any related permits for the project must pass final inspection and all conditions of those permits must be met before the City of Missoula can issue a Certificate of Occupancy. If they cannot be met at this time, you may request the departments review and approve a Conditional (aka Temp) Certificate of Occupancy.
Commercial properties must pass their final fire inspection.
If applicable, properties must pass their Missoula Public Health City-County Health Department final inspection.
You can request inspections on related permits or conditions at any time. Approving departments are notified once the final building inspection is passed. However, to expedite the process, you may request inspections. Review How to View Conditions and Who to Contact below to determine your next steps.
