Section 105.5 of Division II Scope and Administration, of the California Building Code 2022 Edition is hereby amended to read:

Expiration. Every permit issued by the Building Official under the provisions of this Code shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of twelve (12) months. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained, and the fee thereof shall be one-half (1/2) the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work; and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one (1) year.

Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an extension of the time within which the permittee may commence work under that permit, when the permittee is unable to commence work within the time required by this section and for good and satisfactory reasons. The Building Official may extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days upon written request by the permittee showing that circumstances beyond the control of the permittee have prevented action from being taken. No permit shall be extended more than twice. In order to renew action of the permit after expiration, the permittee shall pay a new full permit fee and the work shall comply with all the provisions for a completely new building.

When a permit expires by limitations and has become null and void, and the Building Inspection Division has not been notified in writing by the permittee that no work was done under the permit, the Building Official may file a "Notice of Non-compliance" with the Sutter County Recorder's Office for failure of obtaining the required inspections.
