How long is a permit valid?
You have twelve (12) months from the date the permit is issued to start construction, otherwise the permit expires. If in the course of construction, work is delayed or suspended for more than six months the permit becomes invalid. You may request an extension prior to the expiration of the permit for an additional fee.
A permit is valid for 180 days from the date it is issued or 180 days from the date of the last inspection made by a City inspector. If a project is abandoned for more than 180 days, it becomes void. If a person holding a valid permit is in need of an extension, one can be requested in writing, stating the reasons why an extension is needed. It will be up to the Building Official to determine if an extension is appropriate.
