or building service will be granted.
(b) Retention of Plans. One set of approved plans and specifications shall be
returned to the applicant and shall be kept on the site of the building or work at all times
during which the work authorized thereby is in progress. One set of approved plans,
specifications and computations shall be retained by the building official until final
approval of the work.

specifications shall not be construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of
any of the provisions of this code, or of any other ordinance of the jurisdiction. No permit
presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of these codes shall be valid.
The issuance of a permit based upon plans, specifications and other data shall not

specifications and other data, or from preventing building operations being carried on
thereunder when in violation of these codes or of any other ordinances of this jurisdiction.
(d) Expiration. 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

plan check, such applications for renewal shall be considered as a new plan check
submittal. Accordingly, plans shall reflect the requirements of the current codes in effect, a
full new plan check is required, and a full new plan check fee shall be paid. Upon
completion of a new plan check, the permit may be renewed upon payment of a permit fee
equal to one-half the amount required for a new permit. The renewal permit shall expire
three calendar years from the date of initial permit issuance.
2. Permits where work has commenced. For permits where work has

93-2051
(B) The expiration has not exceeded three years from the original issuance date;
(C) A fee equal to one-half the amount required for a new permit be paid, except
that where construction has progressed and has been approved to the point

issuance.

been approved;

specifications for such work;

where the building official determines that construction has progressed to the
point that a lesser fee is warranted, such lesser fee shall be paid.
The maximum life of a permit renewal in accordance with this subsection shall be
one calendar year from the date of renewal. The permit may be renewed for each calendar
year thereafter provided that all requirements of (A), (B), and (C) as stated in this
subsection are met.
4. Extension of an unexpired permit. For an extension of an unexpired permit,
the permittee may apply for an extension of the time within which work under that permit
may be continued when for good and satisfactory reasons they are unable to continue work
within the time required by this section. The building official may extend the time for
action by the permittee for a period not exceeding 6 calendar months 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.
(e) Suspension or Revocation. The building official may, in writing, suspend or
revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this code whenever the permit is issued in

being taken. No application shall be extended more than once. In order to renew action
on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan
review fee.
(c) Work without a Permit. 1. Investigation. Whenever any work for which
a permit is required by this code has been commenced without first obtaining said permit, a
special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work.
1. Fee. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected
whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal
to the amount of the permit fee that would be required by this code if a permit were to be

compliance with all other provisions of either this code nor from any penalty prescribed by
law.
