I have exterior outlets by each door on the house (front and back) and one by my AC Unit. Do I have to also have one outside by my back garage door? This is a person entry door but it is also probably about 20' away from the back door of the house. I was told each door going out needs an outlet just recently which I can not find in the code. All I have seen is one located on the front and back of house and at least one within 20 or 25 feet of AC unit.

Your receptacle setup is just fine by the Code.
