North Lauderdale homes and their garage doors
Housing from the city’s early decades, an association letter in the paperwork, and permits filed online.

The median home was built in 1978
About 89% of North Lauderdale’s roughly 16,000 homes were built before 2000, and 57% before 1980, with a median build year of 1978, according to the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. The statewide Florida Building Code only took effect in 2002, so the garage doors that came with most of these homes were never built to it.

Houses are 36% of the housing
In the same survey, 36% of North Lauderdale’s homes are single-family detached houses, and most of the remainder are condominiums, townhomes and apartments. Garage doors here cluster in the single-family neighborhoods and the townhome rows.

Product approvals and an HOA letter
The City’s permit application checklist asks for one set of product approvals, the approval documents for the door itself, and a sealed or notarized homeowners’ association letter if one applies. Have both ready before the application goes in online.

North Lauderdale is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Every part of North Lauderdale is inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Whatever the old garage door was rated for, its replacement needs an approval for the HVHZ.
- North Lauderdale falls under the HVHZ because all of Broward County does Source
- A garage door for the HVHZ has to survive the large-missile test in Florida’s TAS 201 standard, glazed or solid: a 9 pound 2x4 from an air cannon, then pressure cycling Source
- Form OIR-B1-1802, the wind mitigation inspection form, scores opening protection, and an unrated garage door can lower that result for insurers’ wind credits Source

Does a new garage door in North Lauderdale have to be hurricane rated?
Yes. A replacement in North Lauderdale has to meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, so the door needs an HVHZ approval, large-missile impact test included, even if the old door was never rated.
Does my HOA need to sign off before the city permits a new door?
