Frequently asked questions
Do hurricane shutters require a permit in Florida?
Yes. Shutters are opening protection and their anchoring must meet design pressure requirements, so a building permit with product approval documentation and an attachment inspection is required.
Do shutters lower insurance?
Approved opening protection on all openings usually earns a wind mitigation credit on a Florida homeowners policy. The credit is documented through a wind mitigation inspection.
