If a vehicle is brought into Belize on a temporary import permit, how long can it stay before it has to be taken back out of the country? How long must it be out of Belize before it can be brought back in on a temporary import permit?

Four months. You have to have the vehicle premit updated ever month. I was in SI area and drove to the bourder ever month to get it update. They would not update it were I had my passport updated every month. I left after four month so I can not answer part of your question. I would ask them when you get it updated the first time.

3 years ago was allowed 4 months and updated vehicle temp permit in Dangriga , not at the border. Since if you where to leave for over 14 days it resets at immigration I would assume the vehicle would as well.

You can get up to a 12 month temporary import permit at the border.
If your new to Belize you should get a customs broker to negotiate it for you,
