15.04.080 Permits.
A. Except as specified in Section 15.04.030 above (work exempt from permit), no building or structure shall be erected, placed, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the City of Cle Elum.
B. All permits shall expire by limitation and be declared void if any one of the following apply:
1. Work is not started within one hundred eighty days of obtaining a permit.
2. Work is abandoned for one hundred eighty days or more after beginning work.
3. An inspection has not been performed and approved by the City of Cle Elum for over one year.
C. The building official may extend the time for action by the applicant for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty days on request by the applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. If a permit has expired, an applicant may renew the permit for one-half the permit fee(s) plus issuance fees and less plan review fees, provided no changes have been made or will be made to the original construction documents for such work, and provided further that the permit was reviewed under the current adopted codes. If there are changes to the original construction documents or if the permit is renewed under a different code, a plan review fee will be charged at the current rate.
