Is the paperwork the same as Miami?

No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.

Why is the spec different up here?

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.

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.

Close to open water the gate lives in salt air, so material and coating get specified before styling does — aluminum, or steel that is coated for the exposure rather than for the showroom.

Everything within a few blocks of open water runs on the same clock: salt reaches fixings, hinges and enclosures whether or not the house faces the ocean.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Riviera Beach actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.
