A permit refund is made within ______ months and work has ______ _____ on the project.

• A. 6; Begun
• B. 12; Commenced
• C. 24; Not Begun
• D. 12; Not Begun

Answer: (D)

The key idea is whether any actual work has started and the time allowed to request a refund. Permit refunds are typically allowed only if no work has begun and the request is made within a standard one-year window from issuance. If construction has started, the permit is considered in use, and refunds are not granted because the project has moved forward and the authority assigns costs related to processing and oversight. So the scenario that fits is within 12 months and with no work begun on the project.
