A. Permits. The appropriate TBC or the CBO of an AHJ is authorized to issue a permit for temporary structures and temporary uses. Such permits shall specify an expiration date not to exceed one year from the date of issuance. The building official is authorized to grant extensions for good cause supported by credible evidence.
B. Conformance. Pursuant to Section 108.2 of the IBC temporary structures and uses shall comply with the requirements of Section 3101.
C. Temporary power. A permit may be issued by the appropriate TBC or AHJ for the installation and energizing of a temporary electric pole or electrical service as specified in Paragraph (5) of Subsection K of 14.5.2.10 NMAC, for a period not to exceed one year from the date of issuance. When the temporary use of the temporary electric pole or electrical service is no longer required or at the end of the authorized year, the property owner shall notify the appropriate AHJ or inspector. Upon receipt of written notice of such cancellation, the appropriate AHJ shall notify the utility and the utility shall discontinue service to such system. Service shall not be resumed until a new permit for the work on the system is issued.
D. Temporary service. A permit, for a period not to exceed one year from the date of issuance, may be issued by the appropriate TBC or AHJ authorizing a connection of a temporary system for supplying water, gas, or sewage service, after inspection and testing as applicable by the inspector. When the temporary use of such system is no longer required or at the end of the authorized year, the permittee shall notify the appropriate AHJ. Upon written receipt of such a request to cancel the temporary service, the AHJ shall, either cancel the permit and notify the utility with the utility discontinuing service to such system or work may continue under the issued permit on a non-temporary basis once the temporary use is no longer required. The temporary work permit may be canceled at any time within one year after the permit is issued by the AHJ.
E. Termination of approval. The AHJ is authorized to terminate a permit for a temporary structure when the TBC or CBO deems that it is in the best interests of health, safety and welfare to do so. See 14.5.1.12 NMAC.
