What limits apply to an annual facility maintenance permit used by a school board?
Correct Answer
C) Not more than $200,000 per project, and the permit is valid for 1 year
Section 553.80(6)(d) allows these permits for routine maintenance, emergency repairs, refurbishment and minor renovations: "The amount expended for maintenance projects may not exceed $200,000 per project. A facility maintenance permit is valid for 1 year." A detailed log must be kept and submitted annually, and a pattern of violations lets the building official withhold future permits.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Not more than $200,000 per year in total, with no time limit on the permit
The limit is per project, and the permit is valid for 1 year.
Option B: Not more than $500,000 per project, and the permit is valid for 2 years
The limit is $200,000 per project, valid for 1 year.
Option D: No dollar limit, provided a detailed log of alterations is maintained
There is a $200,000 per-project limit.
