For a Hollywood Beach condo window or sliding-door replacement, start with the declaration, board-adopted hurricane-protection specifications and applicable building-code requirements. Confirm the association’s written application process, use an appropriately licensed contractor and approved product, and obtain the City permit and final inspection. Coordinate with any restoration work rather than assuming that impact glass alone settles association approval or insurance credits.
The approval path
- Read the declaration and rules for window, door and hurricane protection provisions.
- Request the board's window specifications and application.
- Choose a licensed contractor and approved product.
- Get board approval in writing.
- Contractor pulls the city permit.
- Final inspection and closeout.
Specifications boards commonly set
- Frame color and finish.
- Glass tint and reflectivity.
- Product line or performance rating.
- Installation method and waterproofing.
- Insurance and certificate requirements for contractors.
Timing with building projects
If the building is planning restoration, the association may want windows replaced in a coordinated phase. Ask before you order products.

Insurance and resale
Impact windows may affect wind mitigation credits on your HO-6. Keep the permit closeout and product approvals for future buyers and insurers.
Hurricane-protection authority and permit closeout
§718.113, Fla. Stat. addresses common-element maintenance, improvements and hurricane protection. Subsection (5) requires board-adopted hurricane-protection specifications, consistent with the applicable building code, and limits denial of qualifying conforming protection; declarations and statutory conditions still matter. Do not assume an owner can ignore an application procedure or choose any impact product. Obtain the written specifications, product approval, installation requirements and Hollywood permit/final inspection records. Have counsel resolve disputed association authority.
