• You must have final or temporary final inspections for all permits related to the project. Also, all permits at the address but not attached to the building permit must have finals or temporary final inspections.
• If the project will require multiple TCOs a phasing plan will be required.  A site plan and/or floor plan is required showing the different portions of the building phased for TCOs. 
• The applicant is responsible for requesting all inspections, paying required fees, and addressing holds on the permit.
