Every permit issued by the building official pursuant to this chapter shall expire and become null and void if any of the following occur:
(a) The building or work authorized by the permit has not commenced within two years of the date the permit was issued. Work shall be presumed to have commenced if the permittee has obtained a required inspection from the building official verifying that substantial progress has been made.
(b) The building or work authorized by the permit has stopped for a period of 180 days at any time after the work has commenced, unless the permittee is on active military duty, as described in section 91.1.109.5.10. 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.
