Do I need a permit for window or exterior door replacement in City of Eastman?

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Window or exterior door replacement usually requires a permit in Georgia. Confirm the specifics with City of Eastman.

Like-for-like replacement in an existing opening is often permitted more simply, but changing the opening size, adding a header, or altering egress typically requires a permit and plan detail. Bedroom windows must still meet IRC emergency escape and rescue (egress) sizing when replaced. Dodge County's own permitting office is the Dodge County Building Inspector office, reachable on 478-374-8127 at https://dodgecountyga.com/services/. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, and many smaller Georgia municipalities do not, this is the office that will handle the job. Ask whether a like-for-like swap is exempt at your address, since changing the size of an opening is structural work and is treated differently.
