14A-4-413.9 Suspension.

If the work authorized by a permit is not started within 180 days after issuance of the permit, the permit is suspended, and work may not proceed unless the permit is reinstated. For permits other than the stand-alone permits provided for in Section 14A-4-412.1, if none of the inspections required by Section 14A-5-502 are requested within 180 days after issuance of the permit, the permit is suspended, and work may not proceed unless the permit is reinstated. If the work authorized by a permit ceases for a consecutive period of 365 days after the start of construction or there is a period of 365 days without an inspection being requested, the permit is suspended, and work may not proceed unless the permit is reinstated. The building official must collect a fee as provided in Table 14A-12-1204.1 before reinstating a suspended permit.
