Section 106.3.3 is amended to read as follows:

Section 106.3.3 Time limitation on application. An application for a permit for any proposed work shall be deemed to have been abandoned 180 days after the date of filing, unless such application has been pursued in good faith or the permit has been issued; except that the director is authorized to grant one or more extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.

Any permit application that has been approved by the director but for whatever reason has not been issued within a period of 180 days after approval shall be deemed to have expired. If an update in code editions in accordance with Chapter 51-52 WAC occurs after expiration, application for a new permit must be submitted with new construction documents demonstrating compliance with the appropriate code provisions as enumerated in 51-52 WAC and GHMC Title 15.

Any permit application that has been approved by the director but for whatever reason has not been issued prior to an update in code editions in accordance with Chapter 51-52 WAC shall expire upon the effective date of the code change. Application for a new permit must be submitted with new construction documents demonstrating compliance with the appropriate code provisions as enumerated in 51-52 WAC and GHMC Title 15.
