What Miami Beach homes ask of a garage door
Mostly condominiums, a barrier island in salt air, 14 historic districts, and permits filed online through Civic Access.

Most homes predate the 2002 code
About 85% of Miami Beach’s roughly 63,000 homes were built before 2000, and about 67% before 1980, with a median year of 1969, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. A garage door original to any of them came years before Florida’s 2002 statewide code.

Only 9% of homes are houses
Single-family houses are 9% of Miami Beach homes in the same survey, and attached townhomes 2%. Nearly everything else is a condominium or other multi-unit building, so garage doors are found mainly in the island and neighborhood communities named below, each with an association on the city’s list.

A barrier island in salt air
Miami Beach sits on natural and human-made barrier islands between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, and the city averages only about 4 feet above mean sea level. The door industry’s DASMA guidance says doors near a saline coast should stay closed where possible, and that regular lubrication extends spring life.

Miami Beach garage door questions
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Miami Beach?
Yes. The City of Miami Beach’s Building Department issues the permit, and applications are filed online through Civic Access. Its inspection notice for exterior windows and doors says that work always requires a building permit, and the installer normally files it.
Does a new garage door in Miami Beach have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. Miami Beach sits in Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a replacement door needs a current product approval, such as a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, whatever the old door was rated for.
Does a garage door in a Miami Beach historic district need extra approval?
It can. Miami Beach has 14 local historic districts, and alterations to a building in one are reviewed for a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Historic Preservation Board or Planning Department staff. Check the city’s historic district map before you order a door.
Do you work in the Sunset Islands, La Gorce, Nautilus and North Beach?
Yes. We cover the whole city, from the Venetian and Sunset Islands and South Beach to Nautilus, Bayshore, La Gorce and the neighborhoods of North Beach.
