2. Rapid City Certificate of Occupancy

   A yoga studio occupying commercial space in Rapid City is reviewed, permitted, and inspected by the City of Rapid City Building Services Division (300 Sixth Street, 605-394-4120), which handles plans examination, building code enforcement, permitting, and inspections. Pennington County Planning and Zoning covers only unincorporated land outside city limits.
