LOCAL RESEARCH / Edgewood
Planning your work
Orange County's permit guide, which addresses unincorporated Orange County, lists new exterior windows, exterior doors and garage doors as needing a building permit, and a mechanical permit for permanently installed air-conditioning or heating equipment. Edgewood is an incorporated municipality that runs its own building department, so the county list shows the shape of the requirement rather than the office that would issue it for chimney, flue and fireplace work. Confirm the address and the proposed scope with the city before work is scheduled.
