Grants and insurance

My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

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.

Questions

Miami Gardens impact window questions

Does Miami Gardens need an HOA affidavit?

Yes, with every window and door permit.

What else goes with the plans?

A Uniform Window-Door Schedule, the county wind-load chart, and the city's window and door procedure form for the inspector.

Where is Building Services?

18605 NW 27th Avenue.

How much of Miami Gardens is in a mapped flood zone?

40.5% on the county map, all zone AE along the Snake Creek and Biscayne canals.

Is Carol City mapped?

Its 16 plats, about 1,022 acres, are 47.9% zone AE.

Is "hurricane windows" just another name for impact glass in Miami Gardens?

Yes. Reviewers at Miami Gardens' permit office (Building Services, 18605 NW 27th Ave; filing: City permit filing) and owners in Carol City or Bunche Park treat the two terms as the same thing. Once the permit is filed, staff verify the approval for each laminated unit.

Ballpark for one Miami Gardens impact window?

A 37×63 single-hung costs about $1,100 once fitted in a Miami Gardens wall. Your total depends on frame color, glass spec and the design pressures filed with Miami Gardens' permit office (Building Services, 18605 NW 27th Ave; filing: City permit filing), which vary from house to house in Carol City, Bunche Park and Scott Lake.

How soon after measuring do I get my Miami Gardens number?

Usually 24–48 hours after we measure every opening in your Miami Gardens house. Each proposal itemizes opening sizes, product approval numbers and the permit fees for Miami Gardens' permit office (Building Services, 18605 NW 27th Ave; filing: City permit filing).

From measuring to sign-off, what's the schedule in Miami Gardens?

Ordering is the longest step: 4–8 weeks for 175 mph HVHZ products. While they're built, Miami Gardens' permit office (Building Services, 18605 NW 27th Ave; filing: City permit filing) reviews the permit. On site, most installs in Carol City and Scott Lake take 1–3 days before inspection approval. Start to finish, contract to install, is usually 8–12 weeks.

Recorded notice for Miami Gardens windows?

State law requires a notice of commencement over $5,000.

How do Miami Gardens hinged doors open?

In the HVHZ, our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Who holds the Miami Gardens labor warranty?

The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.

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.
