The definition and the different between certificate of occupancy and certificate of title?

Answer 1

A Certificate of Occupancy is written authorization given by a local municipality that allows a newly completed or substantially completed structure to be inhabited. A Certificate of Title has at least two meanings relating to real property. It can refer to a written statement by an attorney or title company as to the status of a property, listing all the encumbrances and the current owner. A Certificate of Title can also refer to the document that evidences land ownership in a registered land system.

Answer 2

A certificate of occupancy is issued by the local government or building department to confirm that a building or structure meets all necessary building codes and regulations and is safe to be occupied. It is required before a building or residence can be used for its intended purpose.

On the other hand, a certificate of title is a legal document that proves ownership of a property or asset. It confirms that the person or entity named on the certificate has the right to possess, use, and dispose of the property. A certificate of title provides information about any liens, encumbrances, or restrictions on the property.
