Section 105.3.2 - Time limitation of application. An application for a permit for any work shall be deemed to have been abandoned and expired 1 year after the date of filing, unless such application has been extended prior to that time. Any applicant who requests in writing prior to the expiration qualifies for a single one-year extension. Upon approval of the chief building official, or designee, a second one-year extension may be granted. For a permit that has expired and has not previously been granted a one-year extension, an extension may be granted by the chief building official for a one-year period which applies retroactively to the original expiration date, provided the application has not been expired for longer than one year. Additional extensions may be granted upon approval of the chief building official, based on a demonstrated hardship or extenuating circumstance. The fee for a permit extension shall be as prescribed in the building services division fee schedule.

Placer County, CA § 15.04.070

PLACER COUNTY CODE

§ 15.04.080

All permits issued under the provision of the Tahoe Basin Allocation of Development Rights permit allocation ordinance, Placer County Code, Article 15.24, and those permits extended between the dates of July 28, 1982, and the date of Ordinance 3681, will expire concurrently with the expiration of their respective TRPA permit. All permit holders who desire to extend their permits beyond August 1, 1986, must pay the prescribed fees - as determined in the building services division fee schedule.

  • a. Permits issued after the date of Ordinance 3681 shall have the same time frame constraints and expiration dates as those established by TRPA.

  • b. Building permits will not be issued until approvals have been obtained from all county departments.

Section 105.5 - Expiration. Replace Section 105.5 of the CBC, CRC, and CEBC with the following section:

Section 105.5 - Expiration. Unless otherwise authorized, every permit issued by the chief building official under the provisions of this code shall expire and become null and void two years from the date of issuance. The chief building official may issue a permit for a lesser time period when necessary to abate dangerous or substandard conditions. This lesser time period may be appealed by the owner. The chief building official, or designee, may grant up to a maximum of two one-year extensions of an unexpired permit to any permittee who submits a request in writing demonstrating justifiable cause for granting the extension. For a permit that has expired and has not previously been granted a one-year extension, an extension may be granted by the chief building official for a one-year period which applies retroactively to the original expiration date, provided the application has not been expired for longer than one year. Additional extensions may be granted upon approval of the chief building official, based on a demonstrated hardship or extenuating circumstance. The fee for a permit extension shall be as prescribed in the building services division fee schedule.

Before any work can be recommenced on an expired permit, a new permit shall be obtained and any associated fees paid. All work done under a new permit shall comply with the most current edition of the codes in effect at the time of permit application and shall apply to that permit through the point of completion or expiration, whichever occurs first. Expired permits may be granted a one-time administrative ninety (90) day extension without fees upon approval of the chief building official or designee.
