Permits and rules

The City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division enforces the Florida Building Code and takes permit submissions online through JaxEPICS. It applies the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) to permits submitted after January 1, 2024.

The city's Window and Door Replacement Worksheet has a garage-door section. It asks for number of units, area in sq. ft., manufacturer and model number, end-zone and interior-zone pressure (product DP +/-) and the product approval number including suffix. The owner completes the worksheet, and licensed contractors complete the Specs tab of the JaxEPICS permit. The city's Product Approval Information Sheet also lists sectional and roll-up exterior doors among items needing Florida product approval numbers.

Under Chapter 2026-63 (HB 803, effective July 1, 2026), a single-family owner or the owner's contractor is exempt from a building permit for work valued under $7,500 on written request with a copy of the contract. Flood hazard area work and electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical or gas work are excepted.

Questions people ask

Is it safe to open a door with a broken spring?

It's best not to. Without a working spring, the door's full weight rests on the opener or on you, and it can drop suddenly. Leave it closed if you can and call for help.

Should both springs be replaced?

Doors with two springs usually have springs of the same age, so when one breaks the other may not be far behind. Your provider can tell you whether replacing both makes sense.
