(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 work authorized by such permit is not commenced
within 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

apply for an extension of the time within which he may
commence work under that permit when he is unable to
commence work within the time required by this section

official may extend the time for action by the
permittee for a period not exceeding 180 days upon
written request by the permittee showing that

MEMO: October 15, 1982
TO: City Manager and City C
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: Revised Fee for Buildin Q rmit Renewal
Under the existing language of the Uniform Building Code, a person must pay
one -half the amount of the original permit fee to renew his permit if it has
expired.
We have had some requests from citizens to revise the renewal amount. More
specifically, some people are doing their own work and are finding it diffi-
cult to complete the work within the time originally specified.
We recommend passage of an ordinance revising the renewal fee to one -half the
amount of the original permit fee with a maximum of thirty dollars ($30). This
process is primarily a paper process and this fee would be adequate to cover
costs.
