Although I have never tried it, I know that in some ares where I live, you need a permit. It varies between towns, etc. Some towns you need nothing, others charge for permits, some are free.
In a new neighborhood with garages and all, I wonder how many people even use their front doors anymore......just drive the car up and never go out the front door. Something to think about.
Good luck
