I’m a new business owner in Pittsburg on Main Street. Do I need approvals or permits before I can open my business?

Yes

  • All businesses in the City of Pittsburg must meet the planning and zoning requirements for the location. Main Street in general is zoned as a B-1 or Local Business. Main Street is part of the Historical District and has special ordinances which apply. Main Street is also a Special Zoning Strict which allows for local grant eligibility.
  • All businesses require a valid Certificate of Occupancy prior to occupying the business space or opening to the general public. As soon as you know you will be moving to the building, complete the Certificate of Occupancy Application at City Hall. The application goes through a review process from the Building Inspector for compliance with regulations and codes.
