The village council agenda prints Village Hall at 1 Gatehouse Road, Sea Ranch Lakes, FL 33308. The Census Bureau's July 1, 2025 estimate is 567 people. We did not find a village history page that dates incorporation, so that fact is not on this page.

All of Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (FBC 2023 §1620). Each door needs a Miami-Dade NOA or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval.

Neighborhoods

Where the door goes

• The village plat

  Single-family

  A Property Appraiser card in the Sea Ranch Lakes plat lists a single-family house with an actual year built of 1969.

  For your doors: That single-family house is measured opening by opening before the door is ordered.

• The Beach Club

  No front-facing garages

  Village workshop minutes quote a Beach Club architectural-review member: front-facing garages are prohibited in the Beach Club restrictive covenants.

  For your doors: The Beach Club already reviews the front of the house, so that review covers the front door before it is ordered.

Permits in Sea Ranch Lakes

The village takes permit applications through its permit-application page. Village Hall is at 1 Gatehouse Road.

Jobs over $5,000 need a recorded notice of commencement (Fla. Stat. §713.135). You sign; we record it.

Wind code for doors

All of Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (FBC 2023 §1620). The engineer or the county wind load chart sets each wall's design pressure, and the door's approval has to meet it.

Doors up to 30 feet are tested with the large missile, a 9-pound 2x4. Above 30 feet, the small-missile test (steel balls) applies (FBC 2023 §1626).

Canal, lake and golf-course lots stay Exposure C. Oceanfront sites with a long open-water fetch may be Exposure D; we confirm the exposure for each address.

Under BORA Formal Interpretation #24, a house or townhouse under 30 feet can use a sealed site plan, a sealed worst-case chart, or Broward's voluntary wind-load chart. At 30 feet or more, the interpretation requires a sealed site-specific design, and generic charts are not accepted.

Condos and HOAs

Under §718.113(5) the board sets hurricane-protection specs and can't refuse a unit that follows them, though it can require the building's existing look.

Under §720.3035(6) an HOA can't deny impact doors that meet the specs it adopted.
