Being inland, most of the county is generally outside the Florida Building Code's coastal wind-borne debris region, but design wind speeds still apply and opening protection still earns wind mitigation credit.
The statewide Florida Building Code took effect March 1, 2002. Homes permitted after that date, or with later roof and window permits, usually document better on a wind mitigation inspection. Older homes may also need a 4-point inspection.
