Local Inspection Issues Florida and SUNachi Inspectors

Does anyone here have any information on HVHZ in Florida?

   I have insurance companies telling me that Palm Beach County is in the HVHZ and others that state that it is not.   I search the web and come up with both yes and no but no specific regulation stating either..... 


   This is specific to section 2b on the

Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form where it states

  • B. [FONT=Times New Roman]All roof coverings have a Miami-Dade Product Approval listing current at time of installation OR (for the HVHZ only) a roofing permit application after 9/1/1994 and before 3/1/2002 OR the roof is original andbuilt in 1997 or later. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]The home is in palm beach county near but not on the coast and has a roofing permit dated 01/12/1998. [/FONT]

Didn’t you just post this in another section?
No need to post it more than once.

This may help…

High-Velocity Hurricane Zones
The High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) are
specifically defined as Miami-Dade and Broward
Counties. As in previous editions of the FBCB, a single
wind speed is used for the HVHZ for each Risk Category
Map. The design wind speeds in the HVHZ are as
follows:
Miami-Dade County
Risk Category I Buildings and Structures: 165 mph
Risk Category II Buildings and Structures: 175 mph
Risk Category III and IV Buildings & Structures: 185 mph
Broward County
Risk Category I Buildings and Structures: 156 mph
Risk Category II Buildings and Structures: 170 mph
Risk Category III and IV Buildings & Structures: 180 mph

Yes, but it was an old post referring to garage door sticker so I figured I’d post a new one.

Thanks
