Palm City homes

We know Palm City homes

Reaching west from the Veterans Memorial Bridge across the South Fork to Florida's Turnpike and I-95, Palm City combines yacht and golf clubs like Piper's Landing, Harbour Ridge, and Monarch with Palm City Farms horse acreage and gated enclaves like Copperleaf and Canopy Creek. Because Palm City is unincorporated, Martin County reviews all building permits from its Stuart office on SE Ruhnke Street via Accela.

From five-acre horse tracts in Palm City Farms to fairway lots in Monarch and Piper's Landing, wide rear glass walls and mitered corners are standard on our measure sheets.

We serve Martin County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office.

South Fork St. Lucie River wind loads and Palm City HOA standards

When Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne struck Martin County in September 2004, South Fork riverfront estates in Piper's Landing and Old Palm City took hours of unobstructed east-southeast gusts off the water while inland acreage in Palm City Farms faced flying pine and oak debris. Under the 8th Edition Florida Building Code, Palm City parcels design to the 160 mph Risk Category II wind contour.

Many Palm City homes feature expansive lanai sliders, transoms, and mitered or architectural picture windows overlooking golf fairways or acreage. Replacing aging builders-grade single-pane glazing and rattling aluminum tracks with Low-E laminated glass cuts afternoon solar heat gain and provides year-round storm protection without hanging heavy panels.

Windows and doors for Palm City homes

Waterfront homes along SW Mapp Road and Piper's Landing use Exposure C pressure-rated sliders and corrosion-resistant coastal hardware, while two-story CBS homes in Hammock Creek, Monarch, Copperleaf, and Canopy Creek pair wide single-hung or casement windows with out-swing French or multi-panel sliding patio doors. In Palm City Farms, acreage customs and barn guest houses often combine dark-bronze architectural frames with Low-E insulated impact glass.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Martin County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II wind map runs from 150 to 165 mph, above the 140 mph mark that puts the entire county in the wind-borne debris region.

  • 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.
