LOCAL RESEARCH / Orlando
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.
