Questions

Florida City impact window questions

How is the permit filed?

Through the city's eTRAKiT system, reviewed by Building Services.

How much of Florida City is in a flood zone?

County GIS maps 75.3% in zones AH, A, and AE.

Is Palm Cay mapped?

Its plat is 98.2% zone AH.

What did Irma do near Florida City?

NWS Miami logged 76 mph sustained and an 89 mph gust 5 miles southwest of the city.

Do older Florida City masonry homes need custom window sizes?

Pre-1992 concrete-block houses in Florida City often have non-standard jalousie rough openings that we measure for custom HVHZ replacements.

Is "hurricane windows" the Florida City term for Old Town impact glass?

Yes, Florida City reviewers at Florida City's Building Services and Old Town or Florida City plats owners treat Florida City impact glass identically. Once filed in Florida City's eTRAKiT for your Florida City address near Friedland Manor, Florida City staff verify each laminated unit.

Price check: one Florida City impact single-hung?

In Florida City, a 37×63 Florida City single-hung averages $1,100 installed. Across Florida City streets in Old Town, Florida City plats, and Friedland Manor, your Florida City total reflects Florida City frame color, Old Town glass spec, and Florida City pressures filed with Florida City's Building Services via Florida City's eTRAKiT.

How fast is a Florida City quote?

Count on 24–48 hours from your Florida City measure to a written Florida City price. Each Florida City proposal itemizes Old Town, Florida City plats, and Friedland Manor opening sizes, Florida City etrakit filing numbers, and Florida City's Building Services fees in Florida City's eTRAKiT.

What is the Florida City timeline from Old Town measure to Florida City closeout?

Manufacturing Florida City 175 mph HVHZ units for Old Town and Florida City plats homes takes 4–8 Florida City weeks while Florida City's Building Services reviews your Florida City approvals for each opening in Florida City's eTRAKiT. Our Florida City crew finishes most Old Town, Florida City plats, and Friedland Manor installs in 1–3 Florida City days before Florida City's building services review and inspection approval.

Florida City notice threshold?

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

Which way do Florida City French doors open?

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

Is Florida City 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.
