Permits presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code or other ordinances of the jurisdiction shall not be valid.
(b) The issuance of a permit based upon plans, specifications and other data shall not prevent the Building Official from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans, specifications and other data, or from preventing building operations being carried on thereunder when in violation of these codes or of any other ordinances of this jurisdiction.
(4) Expiration:
(a) Every permit issued by the Building Official under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null and void, if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days. Before such work can be recommenced, the permittee shall obtain a new permit and shall pay a new full permit fee as set forth in the building permit fee schedule as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.

The Building Official may extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days upon written request by the permittee showing that circumstances beyond the control of the permittee have prevented action from being taken.
(5) Suspension or Revocation: The Building Official may, in writing, suspend or revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this code if the permit was issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or in violation of any ordinance or regulation of the jurisdiction.
(F) Insurance. Before any permit to perform electrical work may be issued, the applicant shall have on file with the Building Official a copy of a certificate of insurance stating the liability amounts of no less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) property damage and five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) bodily injury. The County shall be named as additional insured. The policy shall also provide for at least ten days notice by the insurer to the County of termination of the policy by the insured or insurer. Electrical permits issued under subsection 80.19(D) (2) of this Article shall be exempted from this insurance requirement.
(G) Fees.
(1) Permit Fees: The fee for each electrical permit shall be as set forth in the building permit fee schedule as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
(2) Work Commencing before Permit Issuance: Any person who commences work on an electrical system before obtaining the necessary permit shall be subject to a fee equal to the amount of the permit if a permit were issued. This fee shall be collected whether or not a permit is issued. The payment of such fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code or from any penalty prescribed by law. Only the Building Official may reduce this fee when it is demonstrated that an emergency existed that required the work to be done without a permit.
(3) Fee Refunds: The Building Official may authorize the refunding of any fee paid, minus and hourly charge for work done on the permit. The Building Official shall not authorize the refunding of any fee paid except upon written application filed by the original permittee within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of fee payment hereunder which was erroneously paid or collected.
(H) Inspections.
(1) General:
(a) All electrical systems and equipment for which a permit is required by this code shall be subject to inspection by the Building Official, and the electrical system shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until approved by the Building Official.
(b) It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the electrical system to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the Building Official nor the jurisdiction shall be liable for the expense of removing or replacing any material to permit inspection. When the installation of an electrical system and equipment is complete, an additional and final inspection shall be made. Electrical systems and equipment regulated by this code shall not be connected to the energy source until authorized by the Building Official.
(c) Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction.
(2) Inspection Requests: It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by a permit to notify the Building Official that such work is ready for inspection. The Building Official may require that every request for inspection be filed at least one working day before such inspection is desired. Such request may be in writing or by telephone at the option of the Building Official. It shall be the duty of the person requesting inspections required by this code to provide access to and means for inspection of such work.
(3) Operation of Electrical Equipment: The requirements of this section shall not be construed to prohibit the operation of any electrical system or equipment installed to replace existing equipment. The request for inspection of such equipment must have been filed with the Building Official not more than forty-eight hours after such replacement work is completed and before any portion of such electrical system is concealed by any permanent portion of the building.
(4) Other Inspections: In addition to the called inspections required by this code, the Building Official may make or require other inspections of any work to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this code and other laws which are enforced by the code enforcement agency or its successor.
(5) Re-inspections:
(a) Incomplete Work: A re-inspection fee may be assessed as set forth in the building permit fee schedule as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This provision is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re-inspections.
(b) Failure To Provide Plans, Access: Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date, for which inspection is requested, for not completing the corrective actions from original inspections, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the Building Official.
(c) To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall file an application therefore in writing upon a form furnished for that purpose, and pay the re-inspection fee as set forth in the building permit fee schedule as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. When re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.
