Permit Press signal intelligence
Hurricane-rated door upgrades
Homes built before 2002 with no door or opening-protection permit on file. Their entry, garage, and sliding glass doors likely predate the wind-load and impact rules in the current Florida Building Code.
These are public-record indicators, not inspections. Doors may have been replaced without a permit, or before our permit archive begins. Opening-protection rules depend on each property's wind zone.

How to interpret this list
The Florida Building Code took effect statewide on March 1, 2002. It requires exterior doors, including garage and sliding glass doors, to resist design wind pressures, and in wind-borne debris regions glazed openings must be impact rated or covered by approved opening protection. Earlier homes were built to older local codes. South Florida began tightening its rules in 1994 after Hurricane Andrew, so homes are banded at that year.
A home is listed when its verified property-appraiser year built is before 2002 and no door or opening-protection permit dated on or after March 1, 2002 is on file for its parcel. A permit counts when it mentions doors, garage doors, sliding glass, shutters, storm panels, or opening protection. A windows-and-doors permit with no description also counts, so an unclear record never makes a home look untouched. A permit that names only windows does not clear the doors. Undated door permits clear the home. Voided permits are ignored. Door work permitted before March 2002 is shown as evidence but does not clear the home. Properties with multiple buildings are excluded.
Property facts older than 30 days are not used. Wind zones vary by location, and some older doors were replaced or protected without a permit. Confirm requirements with the local building department before quoting work. Compare with roof-age intelligence or open a parcel timeline when you have a parcel ID.
