Impact windows in Jacksonville
In Jacksonville the coast draws the line: the beaches are in the wind-borne debris region and much of the mainland is not.
Do I need impact windows in Jacksonville?
Only in part of the area. Jacksonville is in Duval County, outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so no Miami-Dade NOA is required. The coastal strip —Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Mayport— does fall in the wind-borne debris region, and there opening protection is mandatory for new construction. Most of mainland Jacksonville, further west, has lower design wind speeds and frequently falls outside.
Outside the HVHZDuval County is outside the HVHZ: a Florida Product Approval is enough, and the requirement depends on the wind-borne debris region.

What changes if your project is in Jacksonville
Two regimes in one city
That is what makes Jacksonville unusual: a house in Jacksonville Beach and one in Westside can have different requirements inside the same county. So we never give a blanket answer over the phone here: we check the address against the wind map and the one-mile coastal criterion.
Outside the mandatory zone, insurance is the reason
Inland in Duval, Clay and St. Johns most customers install not because they must but for the premium credit and the noise. The wind mitigation certificate is what turns the job into measurable savings: ask your carrier for the number before deciding.
Wood-framed houses
Unlike South Florida, there is a lot of wood-frame construction with siding here. Anchoring an impact window into wood studs is not the same as into concrete block, and a proper installation accounts for that: it is where cheap work fails most often.

FAQ
Questions from customers in Jacksonville
Do I need impact windows in Jacksonville?
If you live at the beaches —Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach or Mayport— most likely yes, because that strip is in the wind-borne debris region. Inland it is often not required. We confirm it against your exact address at the estimate visit.
Is a Miami-Dade NOA needed here?
No. Duval is outside the HVHZ, so a Florida Product Approval is enough. A NOA product is also valid, but paying for one here does not buy you an easier permit.
Do you also work in St. Augustine and St. Johns?
Yes, we cover Duval, St. Johns and Clay. In St. Johns the coastal strip follows the same one-mile criterion as the Duval beaches.
