SEC. 91.1.105.4. VALIDITY OF PERMIT.
   The issuance or granting of a permit shall not be construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of this chapter or any other County ordinance. A permit presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this chapter or any County ordinance shall not be valid. The issuance of a permit based on construction documents and other data shall not prevent the building official from requiring the correction of errors in the construction documents and other data.

(Added by Ord. No. 10146 (N.S.), effective 5-13-11; repealed and reenacted by Ord. No. 10464 (N.S.), effective 4-14-17; repealed and adopted by Ord. No. 10651 (N.S.), effective 2-28-20; repealed and adopted by Ord. No. 10829 (N.S.), effective 3-10-23)

Work shall be presumed to have stopped if the permittee has not obtained a required inspection from the building official verifying that substantial progress has been made.
   (c)   The building or work authorized by the permit has not been completed within three years from the date the permit was issued.
   When a permit expires under this section, no building or work shall be done unless the permittee obtains a new permit or a renewal permit, as provided in sections 91.1.105.5.1 - 91.1.105.5.3.

Accordingly, plans accompanying the renewal application shall reflect the requirements of the current County Construction Codes and relevant County ordinances, policies, rules or regulations in effect. A full new plan check fee shall be required and paid with the renewal application.
   (d)   After the plans have been approved, the applicant pays a fee equal to one-half the amount required for a new permit.
   A person issued a renewal permit shall be required to show the building official substantial progress in the form of a valid inspection within the period specified in section 91.1.105.5(b). The first such period shall be measured from the date of renewal. A renewal permit issued under this section shall expire three years from the date the original permit was issued.

   A person issued a renewal permit shall be required to show the building official substantial progress in the form of a valid inspection within the period specified in section 91.1.105.5(b).
