What does the county require?

Broward sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so wind rating is set by code. The permit itself is local, and an HOA architectural review often runs alongside it.

Is Broward the same as Miami-Dade?

For wind load, yes — both counties are inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. For permitting, no: that is administered locally and it is not identical from city to city.

Can I let a delivery in from work?

Telephone entry rings your phone wherever you are, and you open the gate from the call.

What about guests who visit constantly?

They get their own code or tag, and you can pull it later without changing anyone else's.

One code, many counters
