Permit Expiration
Permit applications submitted to the Inspections Department that undergo the intake, review, and invoicing process are deemed abandoned and will be expired if not paid for and issued to the applicant in exceedance of sixty (60) days from the invoice date. The invoiced date will be at the time the applicant is notified a payment for the approved project is due. If the permit application has expired, a new submittal will need to be applied for, and the review process will need to be performed again to ensure that no alterations to plans and information has been changed.
In accordance with General Statute 153A-358 & 160A-418 a permit expires six (6) months, or any lesser time fixed by the local ordinances, after the date of issuance if the work authorized has not been commenced. If, after commencement, the work is discontinued for a period of twelve (12) months, the permit immediately expires. No work authorized by a permit that has expired may be performed until a new permit has been issued.
Re-Activation Fees
Once a permit or application has previously issued has been deemed expired, a reactivation fee will be assessed to re-open the original permit.
