Orlando Door Replacement & Window Installation | Florida Window & Door Solutions

Anyone who lives even remotely close to the Atlantic Ocean can attest to the importance of having certified hurricane, impact, and storm windows. Although Orlando isn’t the highest-risk location for hurricane-related damage in Florida, the high winds generated by Hurricanes Charley and Frances serve as reminders that the risk is always there. Owning certified storm windows in Orlando is extremely important.

Window and door code requirements in Orlando

Orlando is in Orange County, which follows the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023). Replacement windows and exterior doors need a permit, Florida Product Approval documentation, and an inspection after installation. Whether your address also requires impact-rated glazing depends on the wind-borne debris map, not on the city name.

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Orlando, FL?

Yes. Practically every window and door replacement in Florida requires a permit, Florida Product Approval documentation for the units installed, and a post-installation inspection. FWDS pulls the permit and meets the inspector, so the paperwork is not left to the homeowner.

Are impact windows required in Orlando?

Usually not, but it depends on your address. Orange County is inland, and Florida's wind-borne debris region covers areas rated at 140 mph or greater, plus anything at 130 mph or greater within one mile of the coast. Most Orange County addresses fall outside it.

Does replacing more windows change what the code requires?

It can. Under the Florida Building Code, Existing Building (8th Edition, §707.4), homes built under older codes get an exemption from opening-protection requirements only while the replaced glazing stays at or below 25 percent of the home's total glazed area within any 12-month period.

Which building department handles Orlando permits?

Orlando falls under Orange County. Depending on whether your address is inside city limits, the permit is issued by the municipal building department or by the Orange County Building Safety. We confirm the correct jurisdiction before pulling the permit.

Does FWDS serve all of Orange County?

Yes. FWDS covers Orange County along with ten other Central Florida counties, from Altamonte Springs. The same 10-year installation and labor warranty applies everywhere we install.

Code requirements are address-specific and change between code cycles. For a binding determination, confirm with the Orange County Building Safety or read the current requirements at floridabuilding.org.
