Licensing in Indiana

Indiana has NO state-level contractor licence for garage door, general or home improvement work - the state licensing agency's official profession list has no contractor category - but one- and two-family dwellings are governed statewide by the Indiana Residential Code.

Licensing authority
Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) for occupational licensing; Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission / Indiana Department of Homeland Security for building codes — official site
State licence required?
Indiana has no state-level general contractor, home improvement contractor, or garage door contractor licence. The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency's official list of licensed professions and boards covers 40 occupations including Plumbing, Home Inspectors and Manufactured Home Installers, but contains no general contractor, home improvement contractor or construction contractor category. Contractors should check the city or county where the work will be performed, since local licensing/registration is not covered by this state source.
Permit for a garage door
One- and two-family dwellings are governed statewide by the Indiana Residential Code at 675 IAC 14-4.4 (the "2020 Indiana Residential Code"), which adopts by reference the 2018 International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings. The rule is adopted by the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission and administered by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
Wind load / code
Wind-load requirements for one- and two-family dwellings are those of the 2018 International Residential Code, adopted by reference at 675 IAC 14-4.4. Indiana-specific wind-speed values and garage-door design-pressure/opening-protection sections were NOT independently verified in this session.
