§ 8-7.05. Permit expiration.

(a)

Every permit issued by the Building Official under the provisions of the technical codes 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) days from the date of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days.

(b)

All permits shall expire by limitation of time and become null and void unless an inspection indicating substantial progress in construction has been requested and performed every one hundred eighty (180) days or sooner.

(c)

Before work terminated pursuant to subsection (b) above can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained, and the permittee shall pay new full permit fees.

(d)

The fee therefore shall be pursuant to Section 8-7.07 and Table 1 of this Code provided no changes have been made to the original plans or specifications for such work; and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one (1) year.

(e)

If the suspension or abandonment of the project has exceeded one year, a new permit shall be obtained and the permit fees be paid in full.
