Where an applicant has not completed the work authorized by a permit within three years from the date the permit was issued, a renewal permit may be obtained as follows:
(a) The applicant has commenced work based on the permit and the building official has approved the work.
(b) No changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for the work.
(c) The applicant shall pay a fee equal to the full amount required for a new permit, except that where the building official determines that work has progressed to a point that a lesser fee is warranted, the applicant shall pay the lesser fee.
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. The maximum life of a permit renewal issued under this section shall be one year from the renewal date. The permit may be renewed for each year thereafter provided the applicant meets all requirements of this section at the time of each renewal.
