Certificate of Occupancy

This certificate confirms that your space complies with all relevant codes and is safe for occupancy. To obtain a Certificate of Occupancy:

  • Ensure all previous inspections and approvals are complete.
  • Submit an application for a Certificate of Occupancy (COO) to the City of Omaha Planning Department via the Accela Citizen Access Platform. Create a profile and "Create an Application." 
  • Submitting your COO application automatically schedules a final inspection of the premises.
  • Address any issues identified during the inspection.
  • Once approved and received, prominently display your Certificate of Occupancy.
