Who is responsible for the entry?

Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work off.

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.

Will it actually fit my driveway?

We measure on site and draw the gate on your entrance before anything is cut.

Keypad and callbox on a post at the head of a driveway, beside a black metal fence and an open lawn. — South-west Broward — The newest build-out in the county, and the widest driveways of the three groups inland.

Miramar · Broward County

The first question is never the style, it is the opening. Width, slope, where the cars stop and how much room the leaves have to move through decide what can be built, and all four get measured rather than assumed.

Frontages inside a planned community tend to repeat, and where an association governs the street its architectural guidelines usually decide the envelope the gate has to sit inside.

Planned communities repeat — the same frontage width, the same setback, and often the same entry problem several hundred times over.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Miramar is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.
