The appropriate Inspector may revoke and require the return of any permit by notifying the permit holder in writing stating the reason for the revocation. Permits shall be revoked for: any material departure from the approval application, plans, or specifications; refusal or failure to comply with proper orders of the Inspectors; refusal or failure to comply with requirements of this chapter and any applicable state or local laws; and/or for false statements or misrepresentations made in securing the permit.

All permits issued under this chapter shall expire by limitation six months after the date of issuance if the work authorized by the permit has not commenced. If, after commencement, the work is discontinued for a period of 12 months, the permit therefor shall immediately expire. No work authorized by any permit which has expired shall thereafter be performed until a new permit therefor has been secured.
(Ord. passed - -)
After a permit has been issued, no change or deviations from the terms of the application, plans, and specifications, or the permit, except where the changes or deviations are clearly permissible under the state’s Building Code, shall be made until specific written approval of the changes or deviations has been obtained from the appropriate Inspector.
(Ord. passed - -)
Fees for permits shall be based upon the total estimated cost of the proposed work, including all sub-contracts, if any, but in no case shall the total estimated cost be less than the market value of similar completed work in the same or similar location as determined by the appropriate Inspector(s). Failure to obtain permits at the proper time will cause the fees charged to be doubled. (See § 150.04.)
