Document FAQs
What documents do I need for a Broward County permit?
+
Broward County requires: wind load calculations per ASCE 7-22, product approval documentation (NOAs for HVHZ or Florida Product Approvals), PE-sealed calculations for commercial projects, installation specifications, and site-specific exposure determination.
Is Broward County in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone?
+
Yes, all of Broward County is within the HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone). This requires products to have Miami-Dade NOA approvals or equivalent HVHZ testing. Standard Florida Product Approvals alone are not sufficient.
What wind speed does Broward County require?
+
Broward County requires 180 mph ultimate design wind speed per ASCE 7-22 for Risk Category II buildings. This is the same as Miami-Dade due to both counties being in the HVHZ.
Do I need a PE seal for residential permits?
+
PE seals are typically required for custom residential projects or when calculations deviate from prescriptive requirements. Standard window replacements in existing openings may use manufacturer specifications, but verify with your local building department.
