What is NOT required for a certificate of occupancy?

The requirement for a certificate of occupancy (CO) typically includes details that ensure the building complies with all relevant codes and is safe for occupancy. The name of the building official, while relevant to the overall building permitting and inspection process, is not usually a requirement for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy itself.

On the other hand, a building permit number is necessary because it ties the occupancy certificate to the specific construction project and ensures that all aspects of construction were inspected according to the approved plans. The assessed value of the structure can be important for tax purposes and municipal records, providing vital information about the property. Design occupant load is critical as it determines the safe number of occupants allowed in the building, informing safety and emergency procedures.

Therefore, the name of the building official does not typically impact the actual issuance of the CO, making it the correct choice for the option that is NOT required.
