Who is responsible for obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy upon project completion?

Architect
Contractor
Owner
Geodetic Engineer

The correct answer is: Owner

The responsibility for obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy primarily falls on the owner of the property. This certificate is a crucial document that signifies that a building complies with all applicable building codes and standards, allowing it to be occupied safely. While the contractor may play a significant role in ensuring that the construction meets the necessary standards, and the architect may provide the design and necessary documentation, it is ultimately the owner's responsibility to apply for and secure the Certificate of Occupancy from the local government or authority having jurisdiction. This requirement ensures that the owner has a vested interest in complying with all regulations and requirements associated with the occupancy of their building.
