This is the Town of Centreville Business Occupancy Checklist outlining steps and requirements to obtain a Business Occupancy/Certificate of Occupancy for a commercial business. Applicants must complete and sign the application, pay the required fee at submittal, and clear any outstanding town invoices (water/sewer, vacant lot, developer fees) before filing. Prior to issuance the checklist requires contacting the Circuit Court for any licenses, the Queen Anne County Health Department for food businesses (final inspection required), the Queen Anne County Office of the Fire Marshal for an inspection, and obtaining town building and sign permits for renovations or signage. If Planning Commission approval is needed, applications and supporting documents must be submitted 30 days before the Commission meeting (third Wednesday each month); routine processing time is 5–10 business days but can be longer for Planning Commission review. Businesses may not open without the proper approval and the Business Occupancy permit in hand.
