A certificate of completion shall be required for each development permit issued under the SLDC. Failure to obtain a certificate of completion prior to using or occupying property that is the subject of a development permit shall be a violation of the SLDC.

A certificate of completion indicates that the development approved in the development permit complies with the applicable provision of the SLDC, conditions approved as a part of the development permit, and that the development has been completed in full compliance with the SLDC.

Even though a certificate of completion has been issued by the Administrator, an inspection of a development may be later required to ensure compliance with the SLDC.
