It depends on how many bills you slip under the counter at the zoning office.

Depends on if you are coming or going.

Front-load versus side-load I think is one way to say it.
The locale where I am, the front of my house does not face the street, it faces the lake... that's according to the shape and orientation of my house and the village inspector. My garage door faces the lake so it is a front-load, but it's a side-load when looking at it from the street.

Depends on who is doing the considering.Is a garage door that opens to the front of house considered a front entrance
I observed 2 houses of friends undergoing extensive remodeling in 2 different towns in NJ. Both were on corner lots. Both wished to have their "Front door" a typical 36" wide door, on the side of the house NOT associated with the street address. They had no desire to put a door on the side facing the street named in their address.
Both were forced by building officials to place a typical front door on the side of the house facing the street associated with the house address. They do have an additional door on the non-address side and they use it as their main entrance.

Stupid possibly bot question. The answer is no. The entrance goes into the conditioned living space. A garage door would never be allowed for that function.
Just an FYI, another case where OP has not given a lot of details, and has logged in since making the post .
