Every permit issued by the building official under the provisions of this title shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such permit or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days. Before such work can be recommenced, the permit shall first be renewed by the building official and the fee therefor shall be one-half (1/2) the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans or scope of such work, and provided no changes have occurred relative to other municipal regulations impacting the use, size, yard, space or other requirements concerning the proposed structure or development. Whenever a construction permit is taken out in order to resolve the violation(s) specified in a notice and order, the expiration date for the permit shall coincide with the time limit for resolution of the violation(s) contained in the notice and order.
