AN ACT CONCERNING THE EXPIRATION OF CERTAIN LAND USE PERMITS.

HB 6524 requires land use permits to expire five years after issuance unless the permit holder requests and receives an extension. This directly affects property developers, builders, and landowners who hold such permits, as their projects could be halted if they don’t seek an extension. The bill mandates that without an approved extension, both the permit and any associated site plan automatically become invalid. The key provision is the mandatory five-year term with no automatic renewal, shifting responsibility to permit holders to proactively maintain validity.
