We have tried our best to provide all the information necessary on this page to help you understand the process for permitting your project from beginning to the end.
The Florida Building Code regulates the design and construction of garage doors on all kinds of buildings. The requirements for garage door design are largely affected by the frequency of hurricanes and tropical storms.
