Do You Need a Permit for a Garage Door in Wichita?
When Sedgwick County wants a permit and when it does not.
A straight door-for-door replacement in an existing opening generally does not require a building permit in Wichita. What does: changing the size of the opening, altering or replacing the header, structural work to the surrounding wall, and any electrical work run for a new opener circuit. The authority is the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department, which serves both the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County under the Unified Building and Trade Code. If you are not sure which category your job falls into, MABCD will tell you on the phone.
