No person shall allow unpermitted storm shutters to remain on a residential or commercial
structure longer than thirty (30) days after the end of hurricane season which is
November 30 of any given year. Shutters which are exempted from this requirement will
include permitted storm shutters and plywood window and door coverings secured in
a manner which meets International Property Maintenance Code standards located in
Appendix A: Boarding Standard or Florida Building Code.
The temporary installation or closure of storm shutters, panels, and other approved
hurricane protection devices shall be permitted on emergency escape and rescue openings
and egress doors during the threat of a storm. While such protection is provided,
at least one (1) means of escape from the dwelling or dwelling unit shall be provided
for occupied structures. The means of escape shall be within the first floor of the
dwelling or dwelling unit and shall not be located within a garage without a side-hinged
door leading directly to the exterior. Occupants in any part of the dwelling or dwelling
unit shall be able to access the means of escape without passing through a lockable
door not under their control.
This section shall not prohibit an owner from leaving permitted storm shutters, panels
or other approved hurricane protection devices on the windows of a structure that
is unoccupied.
