If the project is not listed in the chart above, the City Administrator will determine the expiration date for the permit. Once the permit expires, it shall become null and void and be of no further force and effect unless an extension is acquired.
Permit Extensions
An extension may be requested for up to one-half the time of the original permit, but in no case more than six (6) months. Permittee must pay a penalty in the amount of 25% of the original permit fee for each month of the requested extension. Additional work time beyond the extension requires a secondary permit and City Council approval.
