How to file the Building permit and Certificate of Occupancy (Phoenix)
Tenant improvements of a newly occupied space or a change of occupancy go through plan review; the Certificate of Occupancy is generated once all inspections pass and stays with the address. Phoenix doesn't issue a general business license.
