A zoning certificate shall become void at the expiration of 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 and an extension has not been granted, a new application and certificate 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 certificate.
