Keep both conditions of the replacement exception visible
Rockford’s building FAQ lists replacement doors and windows as permit-exempt when the size is unchanged and no fire rating is required. Describe the full proposal to the City if either condition is uncertain or other renovation work is included. The exception should not be extended to enlarged openings or a required fire-rated assembly.
Rockford building permit questions and replacement exceptionsIdentify the building and the role of each opening
Record whether the project is a house, a multifamily building or another use, and identify any performance or safety specification supplied by the designer. If an opening requires a rated assembly, send that requirement for a product suitability review before comparing appearance or price. Do not approve an alternative based only on matching dimensions.
Review project specifications and product suitabilityCoordinate altered openings with the project design
Show existing and proposed sizes on the opening schedule and include available drawings. Ask the responsible professional to assess framing and related construction. Rockford provides plan-review resources for projects needing that process; confirm the requirements for your building and scope with the City before the product order and work schedule are finalized.
Rockford plan-review project resourcesCompare window operation at consistent sizes
Label each room and show which sections currently open. Note the layout, privacy glass and finish you prefer. Have any required clear opening or safety glazing reviewed for the actual selected unit. Compare complete-window ratings and configurations using the same dimensions and quantities so product differences are easier to assess.
Compare custom window configurationsMake the supply and site-work handoff explicit
Photograph complete door frames, sidelites and transoms as well as window surrounds. Include removal, repairs, sealing and finishing in the scope discussion. Your installer should verify manufacturing dimensions. For supply only, agree on delivery access, the receiving contact and who checks products against the accepted opening schedule.
