Permit Renewal Extension

Permits already in effect will remain in effect to their original expiration date. Any permits that would have expired during the state of emergency have been extended for the duration of the state of emergency and will be automatically extended. The entity holding the permit must have valid insurance for the duration of the permit. For work to continue an Essential Construction Authorization must be obtained. For more information see the DOB’s Permit Renewal Extension Service Notice.

License Renewal Extension
