LOCAL RESEARCH / Coral Gables
Planning your work
Miami-Dade County's building department publishes a garage door replacement checklist. It asks for a completed building permit application with Category 22 marked, a frontal view or elevation of each exterior wall showing where the doors go together with the product approval numbers, and the current Notice of Acceptance of each garage door used. The county also states that each municipality in Miami-Dade has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. Confirm the address, the proposed scope and the applicable review with the City of Coral Gables. Ask for the Notice of Acceptance of the door being quoted before you approve an order; the checklist does not decide whether a particular door suits your opening.
