A zoning certificate/permit shall become void at the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of issuance unless, prior thereto, construction is begun, or an extension has been granted by the Zoning Administrator. If no construction is begun within one year of the date of the certificate/permit and an extension has not been granted, a new application and certificate/permit shall be required. Construction is deemed to have begun when all necessary excavation and piers or footings of the structure included in the application have been completed. The date of expiration shall be noted on the zoning permit. Unfinished construction projects on which no progress is made for 180 days shall be considered abandoned and declared a nuisance.
