LOCAL RESEARCH / Winter Park
Local context
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public licence search covering the professions and businesses the department regulates. If a provider quotes a state licence number for security or electrical work, the number can be checked there — and it is fair to ask what the licence actually covers, since the search only reflects professions DBPR regulates. Local registration and insurance are separate questions worth asking about as well.
Source ↗Planning your work
Winter Park's permit guide treats replacing garage doors and replacing exterior windows or doors as alterations that need a permit, while listing re-glazing windows and doors among the items that do not. It also states that starting work without a permit carries a penalty of triple the permit fee. For lock, door-hardware and entry-security work, agree with the provider who applies for the permit and confirm the current scope with the city, as the published guide cites an earlier Florida Building Code edition.
