A permit becomes invalid if the work authorized does not begin in how many days?

  1. 90

  2. 120

  3. 180

  4. 365

The correct answer is: 180

A permit becomes invalid if the work authorized does not begin within 180 days. This time frame is established to ensure that construction projects are actively managed and monitored, preventing permits from lingering indefinitely without progress. The 180-day period helps maintain construction standards and ensures that the issued permits correspond with current building codes and regulations. If work does not commence within this timeline, it may indicate a need for the project to be reassessed or the permit to be reevaluated. This approach promotes responsible building practices and streamlines the permitting process, ensuring that projects are both timely and compliant.
