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 mapNo high-risk flood zone
