HVHZFlorida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Does Ives Estates fall inside the HVHZ?
Ives Estates, FL sits inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means yes is the answer to whether the stricter statewide testing tier applies here.
In practice, that means a window installed in Ives Estates needs a Florida product approval marked for the HVHZ, or a Miami-Dade or Broward Notice of Acceptance, not just a standard statewide approval.
Ask any Ives Estates installer to show that specific paperwork for the exact product they're proposing, not a general Florida approval.
