PERMIT & PLANS
Window & Door Permit Plans in Florida
Window and door permit plans document a replacement opening by opening: the size being removed, the size going in, the product approval for each unit and how the new frame ties into the wall. Counties ask for them because a changed opening affects wind resistance, egress and water intrusion. They are ordered for single replacements and for whole-house swaps.
