Window & Door Permits in Naples, FL

Who issues the permit

• City of Naples: addresses inside the city limits, including Old Naples, Aqualane Shores, Park Shore and the Moorings.
• Collier County: unincorporated areas such as North Naples, Vanderbilt Beach, Pelican Bay, East Naples, Golden Gate and Ave Maria.
• City of Marco Island: runs its own building department for island addresses.

Permits in Naples and Collier County

Addresses inside the city limits are permitted through the City of Naples. The rest of the county goes through Collier County. Either way, your installer submits the product approvals and design pressures for each opening and schedules the final inspection.

What goes into the application

• A floor plan with each window and door numbered and bedroom escape windows labeled.
• The Florida Product Approval and installation instructions for each make and model.
• The design pressures each opening must meet, from the jurisdiction's table or an engineer.
• A Notice of Commencement on larger jobs.
• HOA or condo approval where the association requires it.

Inspections

1. Notice of Commencement on file before work starts, where required.
2. Frame inspection when an opening changes, such as a window becoming a door.
3. Final inspection after installation; your installer meets the inspector and closes the permit.

Keep your paperwork

Keep the permit, product approvals and final inspection record together. Your insurer's wind mitigation inspector (Florida form OIR-B1-1802) and future buyers will both want to see them.
