Before submitting an application for Temporary Certificate of Completion (TCC) or Occupancy (TCO) be sure
the following steps are complied with:
1. Complete the TCC or TCO application including the notarized signatures of the qualifying agent and the
power owner.
2. Provide the building permit number to the building permit representative who will verify that trade permits
have been obtained and will indicate those categories that have not been finalized and the completion holds
that have not been released. Trade permits must be obtained for the application to be accepted.
3. The completed original TCC or TCO application must be at the jobsite for the inspectors to sign. Request
the required pending inspections by calling 305.883.5825 or by email at inspections@hialeahfl.gov. To
request an inspection you need your permit number; all requests must be done before 3:00 p.m. the
day before inspection is needed.
4. Obtain release final or temporary of all completion holds for residential TCC or TCO. For
commercial buildings; Fire Department completion holds must have final or temporary release.
5. Once all inspections are finalized or approved for TCC or TCO and completions holds have been resolved,
submit the TCC/TCO application form to the Building Department.

active. Prior to the expiration date, final inspections and a permanent Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate
of Completion must be obtained. If finals cannot be obtained prior to the expiration, you may apply for an
extension to the TCC/TCO. Please follow the above referenced instructions.
7. A TCO/TCC may be revoked if any action by the contractor, owner or tenant created any code violation
affecting the proper occupancy of the area.

violation and/or disconnect of utility services.
