Garage doors in Owosso
Owosso has 14,658 residents, and 85.8 percent of its homes were built before 1980. The median home value is $121,500. The city's Building Department, 301 West Main Street, (989) 725-0535, says it issues permits inside city limits and sends everyone outside them to the Shiawassee County Building & Trades Department. The city's page is about trade permits, not garage doors. The state's list shows county enforcement for part of the codes and local enforcement for the city, so confirm which office covers your address.
Federal instructions require a monthly test: the door must reverse on contact with a 1 1/2 inch object or a 2 by 4 laid flat. If yours fails, stop using the opener. DASMA also says bottom brackets are under extreme tension and should be loosened or adjusted only by a trained door systems technician, so leave the bottom corners alone. DASMA recommends monthly checks and an annual visit from a trained door systems technician, and LARA advises paying by check to the company name and getting a receipt.
