I have a 1923 year old home with old windows that I would like to replace, as well as replace some of the framing around them due to termite damage.
Would like to slowly do over time, at my own pace.
1. Should I pull permits?
2. If I do, will they make me change all windows immediately?
All 20-22 windows are old and would need to be replaced and I do not want to incur this expense all at once.
Thanks!!

@Tim Kaminski give your city building department a call. Usually a permit can be kept open for a year, so you might replace 4 windows this year under one permit, close it out, then pull another permit. Or they might not have an issue with it.
You’ll also want to confirm what kind of windows you need and what kind of hurricane ratings they need.

@Mike McCarthy Thanks for the response. Will just give the city a call and see what they say.
