Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requiring Miami-Dade NOA shutters or impact-rated glazing on all openings in new construction. HOAs cannot unreasonably restrict them.
Broward County lies within the Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) along with Miami-Dade, which imposes the most stringent wind and debris protection requirements in the state. All exterior openings in new residential and commercial construction must be protected with either impact-rated glazing that meets large missile impact testing under TAS 201, 202, and 203, or approved shutters with a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). Shutter types include accordion, roll-down, Bahama, colonial, and removable panel systems. Garage doors must be wind-rated and braced for HVHZ pressures. Retrofit shutters on existing homes are strongly incentivized through insurance premium discounts and the My Safe Florida Home grant program when available. HOAs must allow code-compliant hurricane protection per FL 720 and municipal ordinance, though they may regulate color, style, and mounting details. Deployment rules, visible storage, and off-season shutter closure are commonly governed by association rules and city property maintenance codes.
