Is Pasco County in a wind-borne debris region?
Parts of the county, especially areas near the coast, fall in the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region, where new construction needs impact-rated openings or shutters. Your building department can confirm whether a given address is inside it.
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.
