Required Licensed Contractors

All work on commercial buildings must be performed by licensed contractors. All residential work can be performed by the property owner; however, any contracted work must be performed by licensed contractors. A licensed City of Cody contractor must have a proven work record, reliable references, applicable state license, and liability insurance.


Required Inspections

Inspections are performed and documented at key construction phases by certified inspectors to ensure buildings comply with all applicable building codes and city ordinances. A list of possible required inspections is available.


Certificate of Occupancy

Once buildings pass a final inspection and all life safety issues have been addressed, the Building Division issues a Certificate of Occupancy.

Building Division staff are available to answer any questions you may have in order to provide a safe living and working atmosphere for the citizens of Cody.
