Because both counties are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Windows there need HVHZ-rated approvals and design pressures for the higher wind loads, and Broward requires a sealed, site-specific design for openings over 30 feet.
Is installation included in the price?
Yes, our prices are installed prices. The permit fee and stucco/finish work are included too. We pull the permit under our license and remove and dispose of the old windows. Your written quote lists everything in the job.
How much is the permit for impact windows?
Across our 12 East Coast (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie) and West Coast / Gulf Coast (Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough, and Pinellas) counties, building permit fees for impact windows typically run 1% to 3% of project value on percentage schedules or $90 to $200 on flat-fee county schedules.
