Impact windows in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits on a narrow strip between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, and its window rules protect nesting sea turtles. We install impact windows and sliders that meet the town's tint and wind rules and file the permit.

What Lauderdale-by-the-Sea checks
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's building services are provided by CAP Government, with staff at Town Hall and online submittal through CitizenServe. The town's Windows, Shutters and Garage Doors permit packet carries a sea turtle rule: if any part of a unit can be seen from the beach, every window and door in line of sight, on the seaward and shore-perpendicular sides, must use tinted glass with a visible light transmittance of .45 or less, with documented proof. Both the owner and the contractor sign an acknowledgment of the town's turtle lighting rules. Wind loads for retrofit openings must come from a sealed site-specific plan, a sealed worst-case pressure chart, or FBC 1609 pressures, with a floor plan that numbers every opening and highlights the NOA test pressures.
