The board must make a determination on the application within one hundred twenty days of receipt. This time limit may be extended only with the written consent of the director. A request for a time extension must be in writing to the department and must set forth the reason for the request. If no determination has been made and no extension has been requested, unless the director determines that a unique or complex situation exists, the application is void.
For applications involving assessment drains, the one hundred twenty-day time period does not begin until the date the assessments are established by the board and no longer subject to appeal.
