(a) If a building permit has been applied for and issued upon an approved application, but the work authorized thereby has not been commenced within six months from the date of issuance of the permit, then such permit shall be void and of no effect. Such permit may be reinstated by the refiling of the application together with the necessary plans, drawings and specifications, and the payment of the fee as provided for in Section 1420.02. Thereafter such application shall be deemed to be a new application and the necessary procedures required shall apply.
(b) No permit fee shall be returned, transferred or assigned, but it may be credited against any permit fees later due as a result of any subsequent submission of an application by the same applicant.
