Certificate of Occupancy Requests

Any Certificate of Occupancy (CofO or CICO) issued since CompassKC launched on August 6, 2018 can be found via a search in CompassKC.

If a CofO was issued before August 6, 2018, please fill out the form Information Bulletin IB165 to request a Certificate of Occupancy. Once you fill out that form, you can submit it visiting the City's Sunshine Law Request Page and attaching it to your records request.

The CofO provides the following information about a building or project:

• Project area and height
• Occupancy group and construction type
• Zoning district and code information
• Building permit number

The fee for a copy of a previously issued CofO is $36.00. In addition to the $36.00 charge for the certificate, there is also a charge for staff time and copies requested.

Please Note: If you have an active permit, your Certificate of Occupancy will be automatically issued to you via CompassKC.
