Notwithstanding Section 35441 of the Government Code, if an application for a building permit is filed with a county prior to the vote on the incorporation of a new city, and a building permit is subsequently issued by the county prior to the effective date of the incorporation, and the property for which the building permit was issued is within the newly incorporated city limits, the building permit shall remain valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance of the building permit. If a local ordinance enacted by a county prior to the date of the incorporation vote provides that building permits
are valid for a shorter or longer period than 180 days from the date of issuance, or the county ordinance authorizes the extension of those building permits, that local ordinance applies to any building permit applied for prior to the date of the incorporation vote.
If the effective date of the incorporation is more than 90 days after the incorporation vote, the county may receive applications for, and issue, building permits for construction on property to be included within the corporate boundaries of the newly incorporated city. These building permits shall remain valid for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance.

A building permit issued by a county for construction on real property subsequently annexed to a city shall remain valid for the life of the building permit, as issued. This subdivision does not apply to any city which has, by ordinance, expressly made this subdivision
inapplicable to territory annexed to that city, unless the city initiated the annexation.

All rights accorded the permittee by a building permit affected by this section may be exercised by the permittee or the successor in interest thereto in accordance with the applicable rules, regulations, and ordinances of the issuing agency which were in effect at the time the building permit was issued.
