Palm Harbor homes

We know Palm Harbor homes

Palm Harbor has about 61,500 residents and a median home built in 1985, per the Census. It runs from the old fishing village of Ozona and sound-front Crystal Beach to inland HOA communities like Lansbrook and Highland Lakes. The county's window form sets exposure by distance from open water: D within 600 feet, C from 600 to 1,500 feet, and B beyond.

Because Palm Harbor is unincorporated, we file the county's window/door form, product approvals and a layout diagram through the Access Portal.

We serve Pinellas County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office. Roofing is Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach only.

Helene on St. Joseph Sound

During Helene a USGS sensor at nearby Fred Howard Park measured 7.23 feet above MHHW, per the NHC. The 1921 hurricane made landfall near Tarpon Springs, just north of Palm Harbor.

Ozona and Crystal Beach lots can map FEMA AE or VE. 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 Palm Harbor homes

Sound-front homes in Ozona and Crystal Beach often need Exposure D. Inland homes in Lansbrook and Highland Lakes are usually Exposure B, with HOA color rules.

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.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Pinellas County is outside the HVHZ. Its local amendment sets 145 mph for Risk Category II countywide, 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.
