What action results in the immediate invalidation of a permit?

Not starting work within six months
Failure to submit a building permit application
Not submitting an extension request
Removing a portion of the structure

The correct answer is: Not starting work within six months

The immediate invalidation of a permit is tied to the requirement that work must commence within a specified timeframe. In Florida, if construction or an approved activity associated with the permit does not begin within six months from the date the permit was issued, the permit becomes invalid. This requirement ensures that projects progress in a timely manner and prevents permits from being held indefinitely without any actual work taking place. While other actions, such as failing to submit an extension request or removing parts of a structure, might lead to complications or require additional actions, they do not directly lead to automatic invalidation of the permit like the failure to start work within the required six-month period does.
