Preserving our Rural Lifestyle
One home per acre
Rural residential districts allow one dwelling unit per acre, so most homes sit on lots of an acre or more.
For your windows: Big open lots can put a house in a more exposed wind category, so we check before sizing.
Town of Southwest Ranches · 2021 comprehensive planPrototype barn plan
The town had an architect prepare a Florida Building Code prototype drawing of a three-stall barn with a tack room that residents can permit.
For your windows: A detached barn may need its own permit, separate from the house windows.

Grants and insurance
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.
