I want a bigger window in my Carrollton living room. What changes?
Changing the size of an opening needs a permit in Carrollton, and the wall has to be reframed around the new size. Our window and door openings page explains how that work goes.
Do doors follow the same rule?
Yes. Carrollton treats doors and windows alike: same-size replacements don’t need a permit, and a change in opening size does.
