A. Every permit issued shall expire by limitation and become void if the work authorized by the permit is not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the permit, or if the work authorized by the permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days. The Community Development Director or representative may extend the one hundred eighty (180) day expiration time limit on permits not to exceed successive periods of one hundred eighty (180) days each, upon written request by the applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action from being taken.

B. Applications for which no permit is issued within one hundred eighty (180) days shall expire.

C. The Community Development Director or representative may extend the time for action for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days upon written request by the applicant, showing that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. In order to renew action from an application, after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan check fee.

D. Change in Ownership. An issued permit shall expire upon a change of ownership if the grading work has not been completed and a new permit shall be required for the completion of the work. If the time limitation of this section is not applicable, and no changes have been made to the approved plans and specifications, no charge shall be made for issuance of the new permit under such circumstances.

E. Change in Plans. If changes have been made to the approved plans and specifications, fees based on the valuation of the additional work, additional cubic yardage, and necessary plan checking shall be charged to the permit applicant.
