What is the 25% glazing rule? +
For pre-1994 homes replacing windows without opening protection, the city checks the share of glazing being replaced against a 25% threshold. That is why the floor plan shows existing and proposed openings. Installing impact windows avoids the issue.
Can I draw the floor plan myself? +
The city accepts a hand-drawn plan or a property appraiser sketch, but every opening must be numbered to the schedule. We prepare it from our measurements.
Can you file the permit online? +
Yes. Since December 15, 2025, Deerfield Beach permits can be submitted fully online, with review comments and inspection results emailed.
What do impact windows cost in Deerfield Beach? +
About $1,500 to $2,000 per average-size window and $2,500 to $3,000 per larger window, depending on brand and size. The City of Deerfield Beach permit fee is separate and listed on your quote.
