Permit Status "Statue of Limitation" Pasco County FL

[Mike Nelson]

I have an REO I am buying and the permit records in Pasco County FL show this house having a roofing permit pulled in 2001 and the status is "Statute of Limitation". Does anyone know exactly what this means? I can only guess 20 different interpretations of this. I couldnt get a hold of anyone at the building dept this afternoon, but will try again tomorrow. Any Pasco County Florida guys dealt with this before? New Port Richey Holiday Spring hill areas?
