What to know about garage doors in San Antonio
Like-for-like door swaps need no city permit
San Antonio's Residential Repair Permit application says no permit is required for like-for-like door replacement. Adding doors or modifying door openings does need that permit. Converting an existing attached garage to living space within its footprint is also handled on the same application, with a site plan. The form states that all mechanical, electrical and plumbing work requires separate permits. Questions go to Development Services at 311 or 210-207-6000.

Historic districts need approval first
In San Antonio, all exterior modifications and repairs on a property with a historic zoning overlay need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Office of Historic Preservation. That includes work on exterior doors and on side and rear yards. Minor projects that meet the design guidelines can be approved by staff without a hearing. Check a property's designation on the city's Explorer Map, or call the office at (210) 207-0035. Work done without a certificate can draw a stop work order.
