93% of homes predate 2000
The Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts roughly 15,000 homes in Lauderdale Lakes: 93% were built before 2000, 71% before 1980, and the median dates from 1976. The first statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 and replaced local codes, so most original garage doors here were built to the older local rules.

Lauderdale Lakes garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Lauderdale Lakes?
Yes. The City of Lauderdale Lakes Building Division, in the Development Services Department, issues the permit. Applications go through the city’s Citizen Self-Service Portal, and the contractor doing the work must be registered with the city.
Does a new garage door in Lauderdale Lakes have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. In Broward County the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules apply in every city, Lauderdale Lakes included, so the new door needs an HVHZ approval, whether or not the old one was ever rated.
My house was built in the 1970s. Is the original garage door a problem?
It may be. With a median build year of 1976, an original door in Lauderdale Lakes is about 50 years old and predates the 2002 code. We can service one that still runs well, but a replacement has to meet today’s HVHZ rules.
Do you work in Oriole Estates, Oakland Estates and Eastgate?
Yes. We cover the whole city, from Oriole Estates and Oakland Estates to Eastgate, Northgate, Westgate and Bella Vista.
