Preparation for Home turned to Rental Property?

[Zack Thiesen]

If I bought a multi-family property - most likely a foreclosure that had been vacant for a long period - in need of repair, completed repairs, and then wished to rent it out, do I have to open the home up (and/or pay) to be inspected by the city prior to that? Like for a kind of certificate of occupancy? Will it differ by state or county perhaps? Any information is helpful, thank you!
