Sandy Springs details TCO conditions, limits and fees

Oct 5, 2026

City staff said a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is issued only when safety/review criteria are met, carries explicit conditions and costs $200 per 30 days; staff cautioned TCOs are case‑by‑case and can be revoked if conditions aren’t maintained.

The full story

Jonathan Levinson described the TCO as a conditional, temporary approval that allows occupancy while a few outstanding items remain to be finished. "A TCO is a temporary approval from the building official that allows a builder space to be legally occupied with conditions," he said, specifying that "all conditions must be addressed before a final CO can be issued."
