Window and Door Permits on Threshold Buildings:
What Contractors Need to Do
- Submit a Structural Inspection Plan with your permit application. This plan must be prepared by the Threshold Inspection Agency and must include the inspector's qualifications. The Building Official must approve both before the permit will be issued.
- Ensure all inspection reports are filed. The Threshold Inspector is required to submit all inspection reports to the Chief Building Official after each inspection.
Effective May 1, 2026, permit applications for window and door replacements in Threshold Buildings will not be accepted without a Structural Inspection Plan and proof of a qualified Threshold Inspector.
