Knowing When to Get a Building Permit

As a homeowner, you’ve likely heard that if you start any intensive home renovations or change any existing electrical, plumbing or structures, you’ll need to obtain a building permit. Typically, homeowners need building permits when creating new doorways or windows, altering plumbing and electric systems, adding or removing walls or adding onto the garage. Florida permits are in place to keep every home sturdy and safe.

 

A Permit Is Required When Replacing a Garage Door in Florida

Due to the state’s building codes, Florida homeowners need permits. With annual tropical storms and hurricanes, Florida has created effective building codes to protect properties from serious weather-related damage and personal injuries. These codes cover both high wind speeds and airborne debris.

Garage doors are considered an outside wall, and any replacement doors need to be strong enough to keep the structure of your home intact during the harshest storm. They need to withstand high wind speeds as well as impacts from flying debris. The most effective method for replacing your garage door is by working with a trusted, knowledgeable Florida garage door design and installation company.
