How many days after the filing date is an application for a permit considered abandoned?

A permit application is considered abandoned if it has not been actively pursued within a specific period after the filing date. In Kansas, the duration established for this inactivity is 180 days. This period allows applicants ample time to provide necessary information or respond to any requests for documentation from the permitting agency. If the application is not acted upon within this timeframe, it will be deemed abandoned, effectively closing the application process unless re-initiated. This regulation helps maintain an organized workflow for the permitting authority and encourages applicants to be timely in their submissions.
