Hillsborough County sits outside the HVHZ: its ASCE 7-22 Risk Category II map puts Tampa, Riverview, Apollo Beach and the bayshore in the 140 mph wind-borne debris region, while Brandon, Valrico, Lutz and Plant City map below 140 mph. We handle City of Tampa and HillsGovHub permits, averaging $800–$1,800 per window installed.
Hillsborough County has about 1.52 million residents and a median home built in 1991, per the Census. Tampa permits through its own Construction Services Division; Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own offices; everything unincorporated, including Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Apollo Beach and the Hillsborough side of Lutz, files with Hillsborough County Development Services in HillsGovHub. We also serve Plant City, Temple Terrace, Town 'n' Country, Westchase, Carrollwood, Citrus Park, Keystone, Odessa, Seffner, Dover, Ruskin, Gibsonton, Sun City Center, Fish Hawk, Bloomingdale, Cheval, Lake Magdalene, Northdale, Pebble Creek, Thonotosassa, Wimauma, Balm, Mango, Progress Village, Palm River-Clair Mel, Egypt Lake-Leto, East Lake-Orient Park and University.
We serve Hillsborough County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office. Roofing is Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach only. Call 754-800-4115 to book a free Hillsborough measurement and get an itemized quote in 24–48 hours.

Impact window and door cost across Hillsborough County
Across Hillsborough County, installed impact windows average $800–$1,800 per opening—about $1,100 for a 37 by 63 inch single-hung or $900 for a 37 by 50 inch fixed architectural window.
Bayfront homes on Davis Islands, in Apollo Beach and along Bayshore Boulevard use Exposure D pressures and stainless hardware, which puts them toward the top of the range.
The 1921 hurricane, Helene and Milton
On October 25, 1921 a hurricane came ashore near Tarpon Springs and drove about 10.5 feet of surge into Tampa Bay, per the National Weather Service. In September 2024 Helene raised water 5 to 7 feet above ground inside the bay, and on October 9 Milton made landfall at Siesta Key as a Category 3 and crossed the region with damaging wind and rain.
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.
Windows and doors for Hillsborough County homes
From Seminole Heights bungalows and South Tampa block homes to newer builder homes in Riverview and canal houses in Apollo Beach, we size each opening to its design pressure and HOA rules.
For Tampa Bay entries and lanais, we install out-swing French doors, multi-panel sliders, fiberglass entry doors and wind-rated garage doors. Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

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 7 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
Hillsborough County impact window questions
Is Hillsborough County in the HVHZ?
No—only Miami-Dade and Broward are in the HVHZ. Hillsborough falls under the standard FBC 8th Edition, where a Florida Product Approval (FL#) or Miami-Dade NOA is accepted.
What design wind speeds apply?
On the county's ASCE 7-22 Risk Category II map, Tampa and the bayfront are in the 140 mph zone, inside the wind-borne debris region. Inland areas such as Brandon, Valrico and Lutz map below 140 mph, where the code doesn't require impact protection.
Which office issues my permit?
City of Tampa addresses file with Tampa's Construction Services Division; unincorporated addresses file with Hillsborough County Development Services in HillsGovHub.
Does Republic do roofing in Hillsborough County?
No, only impact windows and doors. Roofing is Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach only.
Can my HOA or condo association reject impact windows?
No. Under § 720.3035(6) for HOAs and § 718.113(5) for condos, Hillsborough boards review color and style but cannot prohibit code-compliant impact glass.
When is a notice of commencement required?
State law requires a notice of commencement over $5,000, which we record with the Hillsborough County Clerk before the first inspection approval.
How much do impact doors cost?
In Hillsborough, installed single French doors average $2,800–$4,000, double French doors $3,800–$7,000, and 2-panel sliders $2,500–$3,500 (plus $600–$800 per extra panel).
What labor warranty covers the installation?
The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.
Official sources
Look it up yourself
Our licenses, the product approvals, and the city's permit office are all public.
Three cities with their own desks, unincorporated HillsGovHub permitting, and a 140 mph line that splits bayfront from inland.
Wind and missile rules
Hillsborough County is outside the HVHZ. Its ASCE 7-22 Risk Category II map puts Tampa and the western, bayfront half of the county in the 140 mph zone, which is in the wind-borne debris region, while inland areas such as Brandon, Valrico, Lutz and Plant City map below 140 mph, where impact protection is optional.
In the 140 mph zone, up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.
Hillsborough County's ASCE 7-22 Risk Category II map splits the county: Tampa, Riverview, Apollo Beach and the bayshore sit in the 140 mph zone, inside the wind-borne debris region, while inland areas such as Brandon, Valrico, Lutz and Plant City map below 140 mph, where impact protection is optional.
The City of Tampa runs its own Construction Services Division at 1400 N Boulevard; Temple Terrace and Plant City permit their own cities; unincorporated communities file with Hillsborough County Development Services in HillsGovHub.
