A permit renewal is the process of obtaining a new building permit after an existing permit has expired. Building permits are typically issued for a specific period of time, and if the work that is covered by the permit is not completed within that time, the permit will expire. In order to continue the work, the contractor or developer will need to obtain a new permit. The process for obtaining a permit renewal will depend on the specific regulations and requirements that are in place in your location, as well as the type and scope of the building project. It may involve submitting a new application, paying a fee, and providing additional documentation or information. If the work that was covered by the original permit has been completed to the required standards, and if the new work that is being proposed is consistent with the original plans and approvals, it is generally expected that a permit renewal will be granted.
