Do I need a permit for window or exterior door replacement in Deptford Township?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether window or exterior door replacement needs a permit in Deptford Township comes down to the details of your project.

Replacing a window or door, including a garage door or storm window, in the same opening without altering the dimensions or framing is ordinary maintenance and needs no permit; a replaced egress window or door must not reduce the required height, width, or net clear opening (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1v). Adding or eliminating a door or window is an alteration that needs a permit, and work affecting structural or fire safety is never ordinary maintenance (N.J.A.C. 5:23-1.4 and 5:23-2.7(b)). Under the rehabilitation subcode, newly installed or replaced windows, skylights, and doors must meet the residential energy code U-factor (N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.5 to 6.7).
