Counties and communities

The Philadelphia metro is one of the few in the country that spans four states. Under the current federal delineation it is the Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metropolitan statistical area, made up of eleven counties. (OMB Bulletin No. 23-01, July 21, 2023.) Those boundaries are a geographic reference, not a promise of territory.

Why the answer changes depending on which county you are in

Same door, same fault, four different rulebooks. This is the part worth knowing before you hire anybody, especially if you run more than one building in this metro.

County groupStateWho regulates dock and door workWhat changes for a door replacement
PhiladelphiaPAPhiladelphia L&IAn L&I Contractor Licence is required. Commercial replacement goes through L&I; the EZ permit path covers a same-size, same-location swap without plans, and its "no permit" exemption is for one- and two-family dwellings only. City on the 2021 ICC codes since July 1, 2026; Fire Code is the 2018 IFC. (Applicable codes)
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, MontgomeryPAYour township or boroughThe permit office is the municipality, not the county — over 90% of Pennsylvania's 2,562 municipalities administer the UCC locally. PA UCC on the 2021 codes since January 1, 2026. (PA UCC)
Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, SalemNJYour municipal construction officialReplacing a door, garage doors included, in the same opening without altering dimensions or framing is ordinary maintenance: no permit, no inspection, no notice. Fire-rated opening protectives are expressly excepted, as is anything affecting structural or fire safety. (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7)
New CastleDECounty Land Use, or the City of WilmingtonThe County licenses contractors doing construction work and requires a permit-endorsed licence for permit work, with a Delaware business licence behind it. The County does not permit or inspect electrical work — that goes through a licensed Inspection Agency. (New Castle County)

The provider and the issuing office confirm what applies to your actual job.

Just outside the metro

Facilities on the edges — upper Bucks toward Quakertown, western Chester toward Lancaster County, Mercer County in New Jersey, Berks County in Pennsylvania — are reviewed case by case. Call with the exact address rather than the mailing town, and it gets sorted out on the call.

One naming point worth flagging, because it costs people real time: a mailing address is not always the municipality that issues permits. Pureland facilities in Logan Township commonly carry Swedesboro addresses. Chester city is in Delaware County, not Chester County. Gloucester City and Gloucester Township are both in Camden County. Newark, Delaware is not Newark, New Jersey. When in doubt, give the street address and let the provider confirm the jurisdiction.
