(2) Permit Renewal. Sanitary Permits may be renewed, provided that a proper application and fees have been filed with the County prior to the expiration date.

(3) Compliance with Current Code at Renewal. The renewal of the permit shall be subject to compliance of this chapter and the Wisconsin Administrative Code at the time of permit renewal.

(4) Changes in Code. Changes in State code and County ordinances may delay renewal of a permit and possibly require plans to be revised or cause a change in system type.

(10) Building Additions/Renovations and Permit Renewal. Sanitary permits issued as part of a building addition or renovation project may not be renewed by the Sanitarian unless an acceptable written request explaining the delay in the installation of the system from the owner accompanies the renewal application.
