LOCAL RESEARCH / College Park
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 window and exterior door work, ask which permit type the scope falls under before anything is ordered. College Park 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.
