LOCAL RESEARCH / Orlando
Local exposure
Orange County's storm-repair guidance states that window and exterior door replacements always require a permit, that mechanical repairs including air-conditioning replacement or major ductwork repairs need one, and that replacing broken glass in an existing frame without changing its size or type does not. It also warns that unlicensed contractors may try to take advantage of residents after a storm and that work done without a permit may not be covered by homeowners' insurance. Worth reading before arranging garage door and opener work on storm damage in Orlando, and worth telling the insurer about in advance.
Source ↗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
The City of Orlando's permitting pages state that the State of Florida requires a permit for most projects, even small ones, and that a project valued above $5,000 needs a Notice of Commencement filed with the Orange County Comptroller before work starts. For garage door and opener work, ask which permit type the scope falls under before anything is ordered. Orlando sits inside Orange County, and some addresses near the city line are unincorporated and permitted by the county instead — confirm which building department covers the address. This is the authority's published guidance, not a determination about a particular property.

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