Hurricane Shutter Contractors
Virtual Inspections for Hurricane Shutter Contractors in Florida
Hurricane shutter installs are seasonal — which means the permit window is tight, and a missed inspection can push a homeowner into the next storm unprotected. Freedom Code Compliance (FCC) performs virtual inspections for manual and motorized hurricane shutter installations under Florida Statute 553.791, verifying Florida Product Approval (FPA) or Miami-Dade NOA numbers, anchor spacing, and substrate attachment. Motorized systems add an electrical component that may require plan review.

FAQ
Hurricane Shutter Contractors FAQs
Do hurricane shutter permits need plan review with FCC?
Manual shutter installs (accordion, storm panel, Bahama, colonial) in Florida are typically inspection-only — Freedom Code Compliance verifies the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA and anchor details at the virtual final. Motorized roll-down systems usually add an electrical component (low-voltage control or 120V hardwired motor) that may trigger plan review depending on the jurisdiction. FCC handles the plan review when required and the inspection in both cases. FCC does not pull permits or file the NTBO.
How does FCC verify NOA and product approval on hurricane shutters?
At the virtual final, Freedom Code Compliance cross-checks the shutter system's Florida Product Approval (FPA) number or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) against the approved wind-zone rating for the project location. FCC verifies the product on site matches the approved system — same manufacturer, same configuration, same anchor schedule — and that the installed anchor spacing, embedment depth, and substrate type (concrete, CMU, wood framing, stucco-over-frame) are consistent with that approval. Mismatches get flagged with specific, actionable correction items through the myFCC app.
How fast are hurricane shutter inspection results?
Live video inspections through myFCC Mobile return results before the call ends — contractors are matched with a licensed inspector in minutes, walk the install on camera, and leave the site with a result. Offline inspections with GPS-tagged photos of anchor spacing, product labels, and attachment points are typically reviewed and returned within minutes during normal business hours. For motorized shutters that require plan review, that is a separate single-trade review, typically back in minutes, tracked independently from the inspection clock.
