Approvals / NOA and HVHZ

The right approval
for your county.

Impact performance belongs to a tested product installed as approved. Check the approval before you compare prices.

01

Miami-Dade and Broward (HVHZ).

Both counties are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Windows and doors installed there need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for the exact product and installation.

02

The rest of Florida.

Elsewhere, including Orlando, a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA is accepted. Design pressures must meet the requirements for your home's location and exposure.

03

Installation matters.

Anchors, fasteners and the opening condition are part of the approval. Ask for the approval number and the installation details in your proposal.

Before you begin

Good questions.
Clear answers.

How much do impact windows cost in Florida in 2026?

Typically about $700 to $2,875 per window installed, depending on size, style, glass and installation. A whole home often ranges from $15,000 to over $60,000. Your proposal prices each opening.

What is a Miami-Dade NOA?

A Notice of Acceptance is Miami-Dade County's product approval. Windows and doors installed in Miami-Dade and Broward, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, need an NOA covering the exact product and how it is installed.

Is there a Florida tax break for impact windows?

Yes. For impact windows, doors and garage doors bought between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2029 for an eligible homestead, Florida refunds sales tax up to $500 per property. It is a refund you apply for, not an exemption at checkout.

Can My Safe Florida Home pay for impact windows?

It can help. Eligible homeowners can receive grants of up to $10,000 after a free wind-mitigation inspection, with matching requirements based on income. Funding is limited, so check current availability before you plan around it.

Is the federal tax credit for windows still available?

No. The federal energy efficient home improvement credit (25C) for windows and doors ended for purchases after December 31, 2025.
