Limited same-size door and window awning exemption path
City of Austin's work-exempt page says certain residential door and window-adjacent work can be exempt from a building permit, including replacing doors of the same size and operation and limited window awnings. This is not a broad exemption for all window or exterior door replacement work; homeowners should confirm the exact scope with Austin Development Services before work proceeds.
