full responsibility for that which is certified. The use of
inspection affidavits shall not work to preclude the conduct
of any inspection deemed necessary by code enforcement
personnel, nor the correction of deficiencies which may be

A103.6 Conditions of the Permit
Amend subsection A103.6.1 and A103.6.3 to read as
follows and Add subsection A103.6.4 to read as follows:
~103.6.1 Permit Intent; ~eneral.
The Building Official shall act upon an application for a
permit with plans as filed, or as amended, without
unreasonable or unnecessary delay. A permit issued shall be
construed to be a license to proceed with the work and shall
not be construed as authority to violate, cancel, alter, or
set aside any of the provisions of this Code, nor shall such
issuance of a permit prevent the Building Official from
thereafter requiring a correction of errors in plans or in
construction, or of violations of this code.
A103.6.1.1 Permit Intent; Time Limitation.
a. Building permits shall expire and become null and void if
the construction authorized by such permit is not co=menced
within six (6) months from the date of the issuance of the
permit. Additionally, the building permit shall expire if the
work authorized by such permit is not completed within
eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance of the permit,
unless prior to the issuance of the building permit a time
schedule has been submitted to and approved by the Building
Official, predicated upon customary time for construction of
like buildings indicating completion of construction in excess
of eighteen (18) months. In the event a time schedule has
been submitted by the permittee, the building permit shall
expire thirty (30) days after the date of completion set forth
in the approved time schedule.
For purposes of this Section, the construction authorized by
such permit shall not be deemed to have commenced unless and
until all foundation inspections have been requested and
satisfactorily completed.
b. The Building Official may authorize a maximum of two (2)
extensions of an active, valid building permit for a period of
ninety (90) days each, upon payment by the contractor of a
filing fee for each extension. As a condition to granting a
permit extension, the Building Official may require a building
407, . 48i
22
schedule from the permittee setting forth the date of
completion. The filing fee for each permit extension shall be
as provided in the Collier County Fee Resolution 88-241 as
amended or superseded. The filing fee is intended to cover
the cost of reviewing existing or amended building plans to
determine and verify code compliance. No further extension
may be granted by the Building official and the permit shall
expire and become null and void unless the building permittee
requests in writing that the Community Development
Administrator schedule a hearing before the Board of County
Commissioners, said hearing to be held prior to expiration of
the building permit, in order for the contractor to provide
evidence to the Board as to reasons for the suspension, delay
or abandonment of the project. If the Board finds that good
cause has been shown for the suspension, delay or abandonment
of said project, the contractor shall be allowed to continue
said project under the original permit, subject to the
extension filing fee set forth above. As a condition of the
continuance of the permit, the Board shall be authorized to
place such time restrictions or conditions on the permit as
may be deemed appropriate by the Board.
c. Where permitted building construction has not been carried
through to completion as evidenced by satisfactory completion
of all required inspections and issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, and where the permit has been determined to have
expired as provided for herein, and where, as the result of
such expiration the uncompleted structure is declared a hazard
or nuisance by the County Manager, the p£operty owner shall
abate said nuisance forthwith, but in any event in not more
than 120 days from such declaration. Such period may be
extended by the owner for up to an additional 120 calendar
days upon posting of a bond or irrevocable standby letter of
credit, as approved by the County Attorney, at least equal to
150% of the cost of demolition and restoration as determined
by the Building Official. Upon expiration of the allowed time
for abatement and where said abatement has not been effected
or completed by the owner, the County, by and through the
County Manager, may claim against the bond or draw against the
letter of credit. To the extent that any bond or letter of
credit does not cover the cost of the abatement or removal the
County is hereby empowered to recover such cost(s) by
assessing a lien against the property.
A103.6.1.2 Permit Intent: Suspension or Abandonment.
If construction has commenced within six (6) months from the
date of issuance of the permit, and is subsequently abandoned
or suspended as determined by the Building Official, the
23
permit shall expire and become null and void. Permit
abandonment shall be deemed to have occurred if a required
inspection has not been requested or satisfactorily completed
within a six (6) month period. Once construction has commenced
on a building project, it shall be prima facie evidence of
abandonment or suspension of the project if the contractor
during any six (6) month period fails to actively engage in
construction and fails to complete at least 60 percent of the
construction that would be considered average for the industry
for that six-month time period predicated upon a customary
time for construction of like buildings. Such project shall
not be considered abandoned or suspended if the contractor
furnishes the Building Official satisfactory evidence, in
writing, that the delay is occasioned due to unavailability
of construction supplies or materials, and every effort has
been made to obtain substitute materials equal to those called
for in the specifications, or due to delay in delivery of
construction supplies or materials, or due to fire, weather
conditions, civil commotion or strike. Increased cost of
building materials or supplies or financial hardship shall not
be considered by the Building Official as evidence that the
project has not been abandoned or suspended.
In the event that the Building Official declares a permit to
be null and void as the result of abandonment or suspension of
the project, the permittee shall be so notified, in writing,
at his usual place of business. Within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of the Building Official's decision, the
permittee or owner may appeal the decision of the Building
Official to the Board of County Commissioners by requesting in
writing to the Community Development Administrator a hearing
before the Board. The contractor or owner shall have the
burden of establishing that the project has not been abandoned
or suspended and that the Board should reverse the decision of
the Building Official.
A103.6.3 Plans. When the Building Official issues a permit,
he shall endorse, in writing or by stamp, all sets of plans
"Reviewed for Code Compliance". One set of drawings so
reviewed shall be retained by the Building Official and the
other sets shall be returned to the applicant. The permitted
drawings returned to the applicant are not interchangeable.
They have been reviewed independently to facilitate the
permitting process. The job site copies of reviewed and
endorsed plans shall be kept at the site of the work and open
to inspection at all times by the Building Official or his
authorized representative.
A103.6.4 Environmental Protection. Permitted construction
shall not be undertaken in violation of lawful environmental
regulations.

grubbing and other horticultural wastes shall not be buried
on-site but shall be otherwise lawfully disposed.
A103.6.4.2 Dust Control. Adequate dust control measures
shall be employed by the permittee to prevent complaints
arising from unhealthy, unsafe or damaging conditions.
Failure to utilize adequate dust control procedures shall be
sufficient cause to order cessation of the work causing such
and to decline inspection requests.
A103.6.4.3 Noise Control. The regulation of noise is
addressed in Collier County Noise Control Ordinance No. 90-17
as amended or superseded. Activity conducted pursuant to
permits issued under the authority of this Ordinance shall
