Section 111 of Chapter 1 of the 2021 International Building Code is hereby amended to read:

111.1 Use and occupancy. No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made, until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefore as provided herein. Issuance of a certificate of occupancy shall not be construed as an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction. For one- and two-family dwellings a building permit with an approved final inspection shall be considered the certificate of occupancy.

Exception: Certificates of occupancy are not required for work exempt from permits under Section 105.2, Group U occupancies or buildings which are accessory to one- and two-family dwellings.
