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

Lighthouse Point impact window questions

Does Lighthouse Point require a permit to replace windows?

Yes, windows and doors, including filling openings.

Where is it filed?

The SmartGov public portal.

Who closes it?

A contracted inspector working for the city, from CGA Solutions; inspection approval closes it.

My home is on a canal. What changes?

Higher pressures on water-facing walls, usually.

Should I rebuild or replace windows?

Many owners replace windows and doors instead of rebuilding.

Hurricane windows on a canal: worth it?

They remove the need for shutters on wide water views.

What does a wide fixed pane cost?

A 37 by 50 inch fixed pane averages about $900; wide panes cost more.

Can you replace my slider to the dock?

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

Notice of commencement?

Yes above $5,000; Florida law §713.135.

Warranty?

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

When is the quote ready?

Count on 24–48 hours after measuring.

Do condos here need board approval?

Board specs apply under §718.113(5).

Can I close up an opening?

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.

Condos, paperwork, and the water.

Condos and HOAsWaterfront associations

  • Lighthouse Point condo boards set hurricane-protection specs under §718.113(5) and must approve a unit that follows them.

  • §720.3035(6): HOAs can't refuse impact windows and doors that meet their standards.

  • Filling in or changing an opening is also permitted work here, so we flag it early.
