§ 9-1.510. Expiration.  


Latest version.
  • Every permit issued by the Building Official under the provisions of this Code shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days from the date of said permit, or if such building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work has commenced for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is not completed seven hundred thirty (730) calendar days from the date of such permit. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee therefor shall be one-half (½) the amount required to obtain a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work; and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one (1) year.

    Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an extension of time within which he may commence the work under that permit when he is unable to commence work within the time required by this section for good and satisfactory reasons. The Building Official may extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) calendar days upon written request by the permittee showing that circumstances beyond the control of the permittee have prevented action from being taken. No permit shall be extended more than once. In order to renew action on a permit after expiration, the permittee shall pay a new permit fee.
