A permit for floodplain development shall run concurrently with the life of the associated City permits.

a. Expiration:

1. Every grading, building, fire, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical permit issued by the City under this Code shall expire by limitation and become null and void two (2) years after the date of issuance (The maximum allowable length for all permits is two (2) years, unless otherwise noted. Extensions will not normally be considered. Applicants with extenuating circumstances may submit written request and a filing fee to the Building Official. Such requests are required to outline extenuating circumstances that did not allow for the completion of the work as permitted) or if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of issuance, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced. Suspension and/or abandonment shall be determined by a lack of progress inspections for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days since a previous documented inspection. If a permit has expired, no work can recommence until a new permit is obtained.

2. The cost of a new permit, the purpose of which is to facilitate completion of work for which a permit has expired, will be based on a quantitative estimation of inspections deemed necessary for completion. If costs for providing services to the project exceed the estimated fees collected at permit issuance, additional fees will apply. Said fees will be in accordance with the City’s Building Division Fee Schedule established by resolution of the City Council. It is the responsibility of the permittee to schedule all inspections necessary for a permit to remain current and valid. All inspections for this purpose must verify progress.

3. Permits may be issued for a limited period of time when deemed necessary by the Building Official to abate dangerous, substandard, and/or illegal conditions. In such cases, the Building Official will establish the expiration at thirty (30), sixty (60), ninety (90), or one hundred eighty (180) days depending on the health and/or safety hazards. Such permit term limitations may be shorter if deemed appropriate and/or necessary by the Building Official. (Ord. #256-2021, S2 (104-5))
