LOCAL RESEARCH / Winter Park
Planning your work
Winter Park's permit guide treats replacing garage doors and replacing exterior windows or doors as alterations that need a permit, while listing re-glazing windows and doors among the items that do not. It also states that starting work without a permit carries a penalty of triple the permit fee. For garage door and opener work, agree with the provider who applies for the permit and confirm the current scope with the city, as the published guide cites an earlier Florida Building Code edition.
