PLAN CHECK FEE ON RESUBMITTAL
OF EXPIRED BUILDING PERMITS 92-313 1602 07/21/92 1
BACKGROUND
Sometimes building permits are issued and, for one reason or
another, construction does not commence. On occasion, these
applications are resubmitted. According to the Building Code,
"in order to renew action on an application after expiration, the
applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan-review fee."
If the application is resubmitted within one year, the building
fees shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit.
After one year, the building permit fee shall be the full amount
if the plans are res~]bmitted. The Building Code is silent on the
amount of fees to be paid for plan check.

ing payment of plan check fees upon the resubmittal of building
permit application after a permit has expired.
