In order to ensure that the intent of Municipal authorizations is not altered by changing circumstances, the following regulations are established governing the expiration of certificates and permits.
(a) Zoning Certificates. Zoning Certificates are issued as a prerequisite to issuance of a building permit or occupancy permit, as required. If neither the building permit nor occupancy permit, as required, has been issued within six months after the issuance of zoning certificate, such zoning certificate shall become null and void.
(b) Building Permits. Building permits shall be issued for a period of one year and may be renewed while construction is diligently pursued.
(c) Occupancy Permits. Occupancy permits shall be issued for a period of one year for nonresidential uses and for an indefinite period of time for residential uses.
Each nonresidential occupancy permit shall be renewed by the occupant to become effective July 1, of each year. A renewal fee may be charged to cover filing and inspection costs.
