After the necessary permits are issued on a job where the contractor took more than a 10 percent initial payment, by when must work start?
Correct Answer
B) Within 90 days after the date all necessary permits are issued
Section 489.126(2)(a)2: the contractor must "start the work within 90 days after the date all necessary permits for work, if any, are issued", unless there is just cause or the payer agreed in writing to a longer period. The two clocks in this subsection start from different events — the permit duty runs from payment, the start-work duty runs from permit issuance.
