To prepare for a Certificate of Continued Occupancy (CCO) in New Jersey, the seller should first apply for an inspection directly through their local municipal building or housing department. The seller must ensure all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are operational, check that fire extinguishers meet current regulations, and confirm that all previous home renovations have finalized building permits. Addressing these basic safety requirements and clearing any property violations before the municipal inspector arrives will help ensure a successful inspection and a timely handover.
