Do Orange County homes need impact windows?

Usually not by code. The Florida Building Code requires impact-rated windows or approved shutters in the wind-borne debris region: areas with a design wind speed of 140 mph or more, and areas within one mile of the coast where it is 130 mph or more. Design wind speeds across the Orlando metro run about 130 to 140 mph, and most inland Orange County addresses fall outside that region. Standard replacement windows rated for your home's wind load are allowed at most addresses. Your installer or the building department can confirm the rule for your street.

Many Orlando homeowners choose impact windows anyway. Hurricanes Charley (2004), Ian (2022) and Milton (2024) all brought damaging wind to Central Florida. Impact glass stays in place when it cracks, so there are no shutters to put up before a storm. It also cuts outside noise, makes break-ins harder, and can earn a wind mitigation credit on your insurance.

The trade-off is cost. For a 2,000 square foot home, impact windows and doors run about $19,000 – $34,500, compared with $9,700 – $16,800 for standard replacements.

Window permits in Orange County

Replacing windows and doors needs a building permit. Where you apply depends on where the home sits.

  • Unincorporated Orange County (including Dr. Phillips, Horizon West, Pine Hills, Union Park and Conway): Orange County's Division of Building Safety handles the permit through its Fast Track online portal. The application uses the work type "Windows\Doors Replacement size for size", a simple floor plan showing each opening, and an Orange County Product Approval Specification Sheet.
  • Cities such as Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden and Maitland run their own building departments. Apply with the city, not the county.

A licensed contractor normally accepts the permit, and an owner-builder exemption exists for homeowners doing their own work. Inspections are required, the approved installation details must be on site, and the permit closes only after the final inspection passes. A fair quote includes the permit.

Ways to lower the cost in 2026

  • My Safe Florida Home grant. The state program offers a free wind mitigation inspection and up to $10,000 in state funds toward impact windows, doors and garage doors for eligible homesteaded homes built before 2008. How the grant works.
  • Sales tax refund. Impact-resistant windows, exterior doors and garage doors bought from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028 qualify for a refund of state sales tax, up to $500 per property, through the Florida Department of Revenue.
  • Insurance credit. A wind mitigation inspection that records impact-rated openings can lower the wind portion of your premium. How opening protection is rated.
  • Compare quotes. Get at least three quotes with the same product line, glass and frame so the prices are comparable. What a quote should include.

Before you order

Many Orlando-area neighborhoods have a homeowners association that reviews exterior changes, including frame color and window grids. Get approval before you sign, because windows are made to order and most installers take a deposit at signing.
