The City of Beckley Code Enforcement Office handles all site planning, zoning, and building issues.

No land or building shall be occupied or used, in whole or part, for any purpose whatsoever until a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the Code Enforcement Office. This ensures that any building complies with all provisions in the Zoning Ordinance, and applicable building and fire codes.

Any newly opening business can obtain a certificate of occupancy by contacting our office. All certificates of occupancy are kept as part of the permanent property records.
