What Hollywood homes ask of a garage door
A 1969 median build year, historic districts with their own review board, and a new Accela permit platform.
-
Median home dates from 1969
Hollywood’s median home dates from 1969. About 90% of its roughly 73,000 homes were built before 2000 and about 75% before 1980, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey, so most original garage doors here were installed long before Florida’s statewide code took effect in 2002.

Houses are 44% of the homes
Fewer than half of Hollywood’s homes, about 44%, are detached single-family houses in the same survey, and only about 5% are attached, such as townhouses. Condominiums and apartments make up much of the rest, so garage doors are in the house neighborhoods rather than in condo buildings.

Historic districts have their own review
The city’s Historic Preservation Board reviews requests inside Hollywood’s historic districts, which include the Hollywood Lakes neighborhood, where the city says alleys give access to the garages. If your house is in a district, ask the city whether a new garage door needs a Certificate of Appropriateness.

Permits go through Accela, online

Hollywood is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Hollywood is in Broward County, so the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules cover every garage door in the city, from the beach to the western neighborhoods. A replacement door has to carry an approval for that zone.
- Every Broward city, Hollywood included, is inside the HVHZ Source
- HVHZ garage doors, glazed or solid, must pass the large-missile impact test in Florida’s TAS 201 standard Source
- For insurance wind credits, form OIR-B1-1802 scores opening protection, and an unrated garage door can lower the result Source

Hollywood garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Hollywood?
Yes. The city’s Window/Door Checklist says installing, replacing or majorly repairing a door needs a Building Permit, and it asks for an HOA or condo association approval letter if one applies. Applications go through Accela.
Does a new garage door in Hollywood have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. From the beach to the western neighborhoods, Hollywood is inside Broward’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a replacement door needs an HVHZ approval and the large-missile impact test.
Should I worry about the original garage door on a 1960s house in Hollywood?
Possibly. The median Hollywood home dates from 1969, and about 75% were built before 1980, so most original doors predate Florida’s 2002 building code. We can often service a door that still works, but a replacement has to meet today’s HVHZ rules.
Do you work in Hollywood Lakes, Parkside, Driftwood and Hollywood Hills?
Yes. We cover the whole city, from Hollywood Beach and Hollywood Lakes to Driftwood, Boulevard Heights, Liberia and Washington Park. In a historic district, the city’s door checklist wants a plan note that the openings will not change in size, shape or location.
