load center location

[panhandle]

In a single family dwelling, can the 200 amp main breaker load center be located on the back wall of the garage(opposite the garage door wall)?

Yes. Check with your local building code for other issues, such as protection of physical damage. Here in Florida, barricades are required to block water heaters and air handlers when installed on the back wall from being hit by a vehicle entering the garage..
