15.95.015 Building permits.
A. Section R105.5 of the 2009 International Residential Code is hereby amended and re-enacted to read as follows:
R105.5 Expiration. Every permit issued shall become invalid and expire unless the work authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after the date of issuance of the permit, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the date the work is commenced. Work authorized by the permit is hereby defined as abandoned and suspended unless satisfactory work is substantially completed for inspection and the building department is contacted and notified within the times specified in the following schedule to perform inspections of completed work: notice to the building department to perform footing inspection on completed work must be received within 180 days after issuance of the permit; notice to the building department to perform foundation inspection of completed work must be received within 180 days after the footing inspection; notice to the building department to perform underground plumbing/heating inspection of completed work must be received within 180 days after the foundation inspection; notice to the building department to perform four way inspection of completed work, including gas and electric meter inspection, must be received within 180 days after the underground plumbing/heating inspection; notice to the building department to perform the final inspection on substantial completion of the work must be within 180 days after the four way, electric meter and gas meter inspection.
The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time to complete work, but not more than three extensions, for periods of not more than 180 days each. An application for extension of time shall be requested in writing by the holder of the permit and justifiable cause demonstrated for extension of the time to complete the required work.
The terms “Suspended” and/or “abandoned” shall mean that the work necessary to perform or complete one or more of the required inspections has not been completed, the required inspection has not been requested by the contractor of record and the completed inspection has not been performed by the building department within a 180 day period as specified herein.
The intent of this amendment is to manage all residential building permits assuring projects are moving forward minimizing the impact to the surrounding property owners and neighborhoods during the construction process.
The contractors of record, including owner-builders, are responsible to maintain a valid building permit. Upon expiration of a building permit, prior to commencing any construction completion or further construction work, the contractor shall contact the building department and apply to renew the building permit and pay all applicable fees. These fees include, but may not be limited to the building permit fees. Additional fees may be required such as connection fees, impact fees, investigation fees and other fees as determined applicable. The permit is not active or renewed until all required fees have been paid and written notice is issued by the building department that the permit is active and renewed.
Regardless of any extensions or inspection dates a permit shall expire for all residential occupancy groups 2 1/2 years after the issue date. The owner/applicant/contractor or designee will be required to renew the building permit prior to performing any further work.
This section R105.5 shall not apply to commercial or industrial occupancy group permits or permits for unfinished space within occupied homes.
B. This section shall take effect and the terms hereof shall apply to all building permits for new residential construction issued by Eagle Mountain City on or after January 1, 2012. [Ord. O-20-2011 §§ 1, 2].
