FAQs

Do I need a permit to replace my windows?

Yes, the building code does not exempt window replacements; therefore, a permit is required.  The Building Division will ensure the windows meet current Energy regulations and emergency egress requirements, among other code issues.  If the windows are just being retrofit within the same opening and the weather seal is not being broken, then a permit may not be required.  Please see the Window Replacement Submittal Requirements and Policy.
