Building Services

Term of Permits

An application for a building permit is active for 180 days from the initial submittal date. The applicant, subject to the standard fee structure, may request an extension for an additional 180 days.

Once a building, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical permit has been issued, construction must begin within 180 days of the issue date (or 360 days if an extension was granted). Once the first job site visit has been made, no further extensions can be granted.
