Every permit issued becomes invalid unless work commences within how many days after issuance?

30 days
45 days
60 days
6 months

The correct answer is: 6 months

The correct timeframe for a building permit to remain valid is six months from the date of issuance. If work has not commenced within this period, the permit becomes invalid, emphasizing the importance of timely project initiation in construction practices. While there are shorter periods applicable for different types of permits or jurisdictions, the six-month stipulation serves to ensure that projects are undertaken in a reasonable timeframe, allowing for proper planning and execution. This duration balances the need for project developers to organize their resources with the necessity for regulators to maintain oversight on construction activities and to prevent long-standing, uninitiated permits from being valid indefinitely.
