The current
2022 Codes govern the construction of all building projects that have an application date of January 1, 2023, or later. However, if your project or application was in progress before the January 1, 2023 date, the earlier
2019 Codes will still be in effect during your construction inspections and/or the plan check process. You must keep the permit current and show progress on your project. A permit is good for two years from the date of issuance and may be renewed for an additional year. The reactivation of an expired permit will require a review for the update to the new codes, depending on the progress of the construction.
