LOCAL RESEARCH / Maitland
Local context
Orange County's guidance for residential and commercial windows, doors and overhead doors asks for a completed county Product Approval Specification Sheet with the application, and states that the approved installation details must be on the jobsite for inspection — failure to do so results in a failed inspection. Ask which approved product is being quoted and whether the installation details for that product will be on site on the day.
Source ↗Planning your work
Orange County's permit guide, which addresses unincorporated Orange County, lists new exterior windows, exterior doors and garage doors as needing a building permit, and a mechanical permit for permanently installed air-conditioning or heating equipment. Maitland is an incorporated municipality that runs its own building department, so the county list shows the shape of the requirement rather than the office that would issue it for garage door and opener work. Confirm the address and the proposed scope with the city before work is scheduled.

Before the visit
If the door is crooked, off track or has a broken spring, keep clear and stop operating it.
