Do You Need a Permit for a Garage Door in Lubbock?
When City of Lubbock Building Safety 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 the City of Lubbock. What does: changing the size of the opening, altering or replacing the header, structural work to the surrounding wall, and electrical work run for a new opener circuit. The authority is the City of Lubbock Building Safety department in Citizens Tower at 1314 Avenue K, and customer service is on 806-775-2087. If your address is outside the city limits - and a good deal of what people call Lubbock is - Lubbock County is the authority, and Wolfforth, Shallowater, Slaton, Idalou and Levelland are each their own municipality.
