Permit steps for an Aventura home

Aventura asks for engineering on every window job. Here's how ours go.

  1. 1

    Owner and contractor sign

    The application carries notarized signatures from both the owner and the contractor, plus the association's authorization letter.

Before you sign

Choosing a Aventura impact window company

Ask who seals the site-specific calcs and whether the board letter is already in hand.

  • State license

    CGC-1533058 is on every Aventura application we sign.

  • Sealed calcs

    Engineer's pressures, floor sketch, and board letter filed together.

  • Lifetime labor, original owner

    The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.

  • Insurance on file

    Building managers get our certificates before move-in day.

Storm history and Aventura glass

Irma's sustained winds along the coastal strip north of downtown Miami, Aventura included, ran 65 to 70 mph, NWS Miami says.

Tower glass above 30 feet takes the small-missile test, so each floor's units come from the engineer's pressures rather than a generic chart.

Windows and doors for Aventura homes

High-rise condos, mid-rise buildings on the Waterways, and townhomes by the lakes. Sliders to balconies and wide fixed units are common openings.

In the HVHZ, our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Aventura housing stock

Aventura residential parcels: 24,270. Aventura mix: 643 single-family, 23,022 condo units, 240 townhouses and 9 small multifamily.

Aventura median build year: 1989. Aventura pre-1992 share: 64%. Aventura 2002-and-later share: one-fifth.

Grants and insurance

My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

If you qualify for My Safe Florida Home, the state pays $2 for every $1 you pay, up to $10,000, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit (Fla. Stat. §215.5586). How the program works.

Impact windows and doors count as opening protection, Question 9 on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. A licensed inspector fills it out after the work, and your insurer sets the discount.

Questions

Aventura impact window questions

What does Aventura need with a window permit?

Notarized owner and contractor signatures, the association's authorization letter, sealed site-specific calcs, and a floor sketch showing each opening's distance from the corners.

Does my condo association have to sign off?

Yes. The city asks for the board's letter, and §718.113(5) lets the board set the hurricane-protection spec.

Who seals the wind calculations?

A Florida professional engineer, for the specific unit and floor.

How much of Aventura is in a flood zone?

County GIS maps 96.1% of the city in a FEMA high-risk zone, nearly all of it zone AE.

Is Williams Island in a flood zone?

All 79 acres of its plats sit in zone AE.

What wind speed applies in Aventura?

175 mph for a Risk Category II building, the HVHZ figure for all of Miami-Dade.

Where is the permit filed?

With the Building Division at 19200 West Country Club Drive.

Are Aventura hurricane windows different from Aventura impact glass?

No — Aventura homeowners in Williams Island and Aventura Lakes use both Aventura terms for 175 mph Aventura HVHZ units. Every Aventura opening permitted via Aventura's City permit application, owner and contractor notarized for Williams Island, Aventura Lakes, and The Waterways carries Aventura-accepted HVHZ approvals.

What's the Aventura installed price of a single-hung?

Plan on roughly $1,100 for a 37×63 Aventura single-hung, permitted and installed in Aventura. Across Aventura streets in Williams Island, Aventura Lakes, and The Waterways, your Aventura total reflects Aventura frame color, Williams Island glass spec, and Aventura pressures filed with Aventura's Aventura Building Division, 19200 W Country Club Dr via Aventura's City permit application, owner and contractor notarized.

Recorded notice for Aventura windows?

State law requires a notice of commencement over $5,000.

Do Aventura impact doors swing out?

In the HVHZ, our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Is Aventura labor covered for life?

The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

All of Miami-Dade is in the HVHZ, with 175 mph design wind for a Risk Category II home.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of TAS 201 and TAS 203, a 9-pound 2x4 fired at 50 feet per second, then cyclic pressure.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test, 2-gram steel balls at 130 feet per second.
  • Operable windows and doors are also tested to TAS 202 for pressure and water (FBC 2411.3.2.1), and each unit needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida approval covering its size and pressure. Permits applied for after December 31, 2026 fall under the 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code.

FEMA flood mapA city almost entirely in zone AE

  • County GIS shows 96.1% of Aventura's mapped area in a FEMA high-risk flood zone.

  • Flood zone doesn't change the wind rating of a window, but it often drives insurance questions we can help document.

  • In flood zones, if your permitted improvements reach 50% of the home's value, the house must meet current flood elevation rules. A window job alone rarely gets there.
