Request to Extend Building Permit

  • Building Permits become invalid if work is not commenced within 6 months of issuance.
  • Building Permits expire 12 months from the date of issuance. If work has commenced, permits may be extended for 12 months upon payment of 25% of the original fee, and 50% of the original fee for a second 12 month extension.
  • ALL Building Permits expire 3 years from the date of issuance. A new Building Permit will then be required for additional or continued work.
  • Construction must proceed in accordance with plans approved by, and on file with, the Building Department. Changes and revisions to construction design must be approved by the Building Department prior to continuing with work.
  • A building or structure erected or altered under a Building Permit may not be occupied or used until a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the Building Department.
