When you don’t need a Window & Door permit
ME (ZIP 03903), replacing a window or exterior door in the existing opening is generally a like-for-like task outside the MUBEC permit scope, though 2021 IRC egress sizing still governs bedroom windows. Enlarging or adding an opening alters wall framing and requires a building permit from the Town of Eliot Code Enforcement Office. Confirm with the office at 1333 State Road (207-439-1813 Ext. 110).
