EXPIRATION

105.5 Expiration. Every permit issued by the building official under the provisions of
this chapter shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the building or work
authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 calendar days from the date 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 180 calendar days.
The timeframe by which a project shall be deemed to be suspended or abandoned shall be
measured from the date of the last major inspection that resulted in an approval to move to the
3
next stage of construction by the City of Eagle or if no inspection has been required then a
project shall be deemed to be suspended 180 calendar days from the date the permit was issued.
The major inspections that can be required from the City of Eagle include grading inspection,
footing/foundation inspection, concrete slab or under -floor inspection, lowest floor elevation
inspection, framing inspection, lath or gypsum board inspection, fire resistant penetration
inspection, energy efficiency inspection or special inspections. However, the building official
may extend a permit based on a good faith effort made by the permit holder as determined by the
building official. A good faith effort may include but is not limited to an inspection performed
by City inspectors to verify that substantial amount of code compliant work has been performed
and that significant progress has occurred towards the next stage of inspection.
a. New Permit Required After Expiration. Before work on the site can be recommenced
after expiration, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee therefore shall be one
half the amount required for a new permit provided no changes have been made or will be made
in the original plans and specifications for such work, that the work is still possible given current
conditions, and that work has not been suspended or abandoned for more than one year from the
last recorded major inspection or good faith effort determined by the building official. In such
cases, a new permit shall not be issued after expiration when the original review was performed
using a previously adopted code.
If more than one year has passed since the permit has expired or the City has adopted a
new version of the building code, then the applicant shall apply for a new permit and the plans
will be subject to a new plan review process and related permit fees.
The building official shall have the authority to deny the new permit which utilizes the
requirements of the expired permit unless the permittee made a good faith effort to complete the
project and reasons beyond their control resulted in suspension or abandonment of the project.
The permittee must show that the building or work will be duly completed without further delay,
if the building official renews the permit.
b. Permit Extensions. Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an
extension of the time within which work may commence under that permit, when the permittee is
unable to commence work within the time required by this section. The building official may
extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not exceeding 180 calendar days on
written request by the permittee with written evidence provided demonstrating that a good faith
effort to complete the project has been made and that reasons beyond the control of the permittee
have resulted in a delay. Under no condition shall a permit be extended more than once.
c. Demolition and/or Restoration of Property After Permit Expiration. Once a permit
has expired and the building official has determined that said permit shall not be renewed, the
permittee/owner shall have 90 calendar days to demolish any partially erected structures and/or
restore the property to the same condition that it was in at the time of the issuance of the original
permit, or to a condition acceptable to the building official.
d. Council Action. If the permittee/owner does not return the property to the condition
that it was in at the time the original building permit was issued, or to a condition acceptable to
4
the building official, then, after providing adequate notice to the permittee/owner, the building
official shall cause the matter to be heard before City Council. The Council shall hear the matter
and may order the property to be restored to the same condition it was in at the time of the
issuance of the original building permit, or to the condition that was ordered by the building
official, or any other action it deems necessary. This action may result in the demolition or
restoration of a structure or portion thereof. A tax lien shall be placed against the property for
any work that the building official must undertake to restore the property. If
demolition/restoration is necessary, the City shall follow the procedure set forth in the City code
for abatement of dangerous buildings.

EXPIRATION

this chapter shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the building or work
authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 calendar days from the date 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 180 calendar days.
The timeframe by which a project shall be deemed to be suspended or abandoned shall be
measured from the date of the last major inspection that resulted in an approval to move to the
next stage of construction by the City of Eagle or if no inspection has been required then a
project shall be deemed to be suspended 180 calendar days from the date the permit was issued.
The major inspections that can be required from the City of Eagle include grading inspection,
footing/foundation inspection, concrete slab or under -floor inspection, lowest floor elevation
inspection, framing inspection, lath or gypsum board inspection, fire resistant penetration
inspection, energy efficiency inspection City or date of and special inspections. However, the
building official may extend a permit based on a good faith effort made by the permit holder as
determined by the building official. A good faith effort may include but is not limited to an
inspection performed by City inspectors to verify that substantial amount of code compliant
work has been performed and that significant progress has occurred towards the next stage of
inspection.
a. New Permit Required After Expiration. Before work on the site can be recommenced
after expiration, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee therefore shall be one
half the amount required for a new permit provided no changes have been made or will be made
15
in the original plans and specifications for such work, that the work is still possible given current
conditions, and that work has not been suspended or abandoned for more than one year from the
last recorded major inspection or good faith effort determined by the building official. In such
cases, a new permit shall not be issued after expiration when the original review was performed
using a previously adopted code.
If more than one year has passed since the permit has expired or the City has adopted a
new version of the building code, then the applicant shall apply for a new permit and the plans
will be subject to a new plan review process and related permit fees.
The building official shall have the authority to deny the new permit which utilizes the
requirements of the expired permit unless the permittee made a good faith effort to complete the
project and reasons beyond their control resulted in suspension or abandonment of the project.
The permittee must show that the building or work will be duly completed without further delay,
if the building official renews the permit.
b. Permit Extensions. Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an
extension of the time within which work may commence under that permit, when the permittee is
unable to commence work within the time required by this section. The building official may
extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not exceeding 180 calendar days on
written request by the permittee with written evidence provided demonstrating that a good faith
effort to complete the project has been made and that reasons beyond the control of the permittee
have resulted in a delay. Under no condition shall a permit be extended more than once.
c. Demolition and/or Restoration of Property After Permit Expiration. Once a permit
has expired and the building official has determined that said permit shall not be renewed, the
permittee/owner shall have 90 calendar days to demolish any partially erected structures and/or
restore the property to the same condition that it was in at the time of the issuance of the original
permit, or to a condition acceptable to the building official.
d. Council Action. If the permittee/owner does not return the property to the condition
that it was in at the time the original building permit was issued, or to a condition acceptable to
the building official, then, after providing adequate notice to the permittee/owner, the building
official shall cause the matter to be heard before City Council. The City Council shall hear the
matter and may order the property to be restored to the same condition it was in at the time of the
issuance of the original building permit, or to the condition that was ordered by the building
official, or any other action it deems necessary. This action may result in the demolition or
restoration of a structure or portion thereof. A tax lien shall be placed against the property for
any work that the building official must undertake to restore the property. If
demolition/restoration is necessary, the City shall follow the procedure set forth in the City code
and/or as set forth in the Idaho Code addressing abatement of dangerous or nuisance buildings or
