Ask your building inspector, he'll tell you in about three seconds.
The authorative Usenet answer is: "maybe".

Only at the walk through door. But that's only if the garage has lights.

Good thing you qualified that! I can see garages built without lights,
but then having a switch.
IMHO, if the vehicle door can be opened from outside, I'd personally
want a switch there (mine does, part of the door opener switch which
is inside next to the door). It has come in handy several times.

I put one inside my garage walk in door, just below the door opener button,
the door opener has a light, but I dont always raise it when going out
there.
