Dania Beach homes

We know Dania Beach homes

Danish families settled Modello in the late 1890s; the town became Dania and was once called the Tomato Capital.

The city acquired its coastline strip from Hollywood in 1927, and §5-18 now governs light near the beach.

Broward's first city

Dania Beach, from the beach to the west

  • Old Modello

    Late 1890s

    Danish families from Chicago settled Modello in the late 1890s; it became Dania when it incorporated in 1904.

    For your windows: The oldest homes sit near the original town, and their openings rarely match stock sizes.

  • The beach and pier

    Code §5-18

    City code §5-18 bars light visible from the beach from March 1 through October 31, including interior lights seen through windows; the city has a public beach and fishing pier.

    For your windows: Since §5-18 names no tint figure, any glass the beach can see gets our 45%-or-under transmittance spec.

    Dania Beach Code · Chapter 5, §5-18 sea turtle lighting

  • Dania Pointe

    Mixed-use

    The CRA's 2023 annual report lists 1,400 residential units among the Dania Pointe project's planned retail, office, and hotel space.

    For your windows: Newer apartment and condo buildings come with board or management specs for glass.

  • Arts and Entertainment District

    Along Federal Highway

    The CRA describes the arts district as the Federal Highway area from Old Griffin Road to SE 5th Street, long home to arts-based businesses.

    For your windows: Older homes on nearby blocks often have original openings we measure one by one.

  • Airport and port edge

    Just south of both

    The city sits just south of the airport and Port Everglades.

    For your windows: Laminated impact glass also cuts outside noise, which homeowners near the flight paths notice.

  • Marinas and waterways

    Marine industry

    Marinas along the city's waterways are part of its economic base.

    For your windows: Waterfront walls are rated for open exposure, often a higher pressure than the street side.

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

Dania Beach impact window questions

Which permit type do I need in Dania Beach?

The eSuite portal has a residential window, door, and shutter permit type.

Who reviews and closes the permit?

Community Development; its inspector does the final, and inspection approval closes it.

Does the turtle ordinance affect my windows?

Yes, in nesting season. §5-18 has no tint figure, so beach-facing glass gets our 45%-or-under spec.

Is my lot seaward of the coastal line?

We check. Seaward parcels need FDEP review under §161.053.

Will impact glass help with airport noise?

Laminated glass cuts outside noise compared with ordinary glass.

I'm on a marina. Is the rating different?

Waterfront walls often need a higher pressure rating.

Do hurricane windows need a permit here?

Yes, like any impact window replacement.

What's the cost of a bedroom window?

Figure $1,100 for one single-hung, 37 by 63 inch.

Do you install doors too?

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

Do I need a notice of commencement?

Over $5,000, yes (§713.135).

Who does the warranty protect?

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

When do I get the quote?

Our Dania Beach quotes go out 24–48 hours after the measure.

Can my condo board say no?

Not to units meeting its §718.113(5) specs.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

All of Broward is in the HVHZ, with 170 mph design wind for a Risk Category II home.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test, a 9-pound 2x4 fired at 50 feet per second.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test, 2-gram steel balls at 130 feet per second, and BORA Formal Interpretation #24 asks for a sealed, site-specific design.

The beach, condos, and paperwork.

Beach sideTurtle lighting near the sand

  • Dania's turtle rule (§5-18) runs March through October and reaches indoor light shining out through windows; with no transmittance figure in it, we hold beach-facing glass to 45% or less, as the state's model ordinance does.

  • Parcels seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line need FDEP review under §161.053; we check the address.

Condos and HOAsCondo and HOA specs

  • §718.113(5): a Dania Beach condo board picks the look of hurricane protection and must approve units that match it.

  • §720.3035(6) bars HOAs from turning down impact windows and doors that meet their specs.

  • Above 30 feet, glass is tested with the small missile and BORA Formal Interpretation #24 asks for a sealed, site-specific design.

PaperworkNotice of commencement

  • Contracts above $5,000 need a notice of commencement recorded under §713.135.

  • We record it before work starts.
