Can I skip site-specific calcs?

How much of Miami Shores is a flood zone?

19% on the county map, including a sliver of zone VE.

Are Miami Shores hurricane windows different from Miami Shores impact glass?

No — Miami Shores homeowners in Miami Shores sections and Bay Lure use both Miami Shores terms for 175 mph Miami Shores HVHZ units.

What is the Miami Shores timeline from Miami Shores sections measure to Miami Shores closeout?

Manufacturing Miami Shores 175 mph HVHZ units for Miami Shores sections and Bay Lure homes takes 4–8 Miami Shores weeks while Miami Shores's Village Building Department reviews your Miami Shores separate permit in Miami Shores's Village permit filing. Our Miami Shores crew finishes most Miami Shores sections, Bay Lure, and Earleton Shores installs in 1–3 Miami Shores days before Miami Shores's wind-load chart and inspection approval.

Qualified Miami Shores buyers in Miami Shores sections, Bay Lure, and Earleton Shores can pick 12-month no-interest Miami Shores terms, 10-year Miami Shores loans at 6.99% Miami Shores APR, or 20-year Miami Shores plans at 8.99% Miami Shores APR.

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 low share, with a bay edge

  • Miami Shores has 19% in high-risk zones on county GIS, including a sliver of zone VE.

  • Bayfront plats are the exception, and we engineer those walls with margin.

  • 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.
