Palm Beach County Is North of the HVHZ — Standard Florida Building Code Applies
FPL Net Metering Across Palm Beach County. Not in the HVHZ — No Miami-Dade NOA Required. 30+ Palm Beach Municipalities Each With Its Own Building Department.
Palm Beach County is north of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers only Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Standard Florida Building Code applies throughout Palm Beach County — hurricane-rated racking is required but Miami-Dade NOA certification is not. FPL (Florida Power & Light) serves all of Palm Beach County with net metering. The county has over 30 incorporated municipalities — West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Wellington, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and more — each with its own building department. We confirm AHJ per address before building every West Palm Beach plan set.
FPL Net Metering · Palm Beach County · Standard FBC Wind Zone
✅FPL net metering: credits solar exports at retail rate with monthly rollover
✅FPL interconnection: submit simultaneously with building permit
✅Palm Beach County is NOT in the HVHZ — standard FBC wind requirements apply
✅No Miami-Dade NOA required for racking components in Palm Beach County
⚠️Hurricane-rated racking still required under FBC — Palm Beach wind zone calcs needed

⚠️ West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Wellington, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens all have separate building departments. A plan set addressed to one city for an address in another is rejected immediately. We confirm the correct municipality before building every Palm Beach County plan set.
Why West Palm Beach Installers Outsource
Wrong Municipal Building Department. FBC Wind Zone Calcs Missing. HVHZ Confusion.
Routing a Boca Raton or Boynton Beach Address to West Palm Beach Building
Palm Beach County's 30+ municipalities each maintain separate building departments. West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens are all separate AHJs. A plan set addressed to West Palm Beach for a Boca Raton address is rejected immediately. AHJ confirmation is mandatory for every Palm Beach County project before any plan set work begins.
Palm Beach FBC Wind Zone Calcs — Required Even Without HVHZ Designation
Palm Beach County is not in the HVHZ, but the Florida Building Code still requires wind-rated racking and attachment calculations. South Florida wind zone values are significant even outside the HVHZ. Plan sets with generic non-Florida racking specifications fail Florida Building Code structural review in Palm Beach County. We format every West Palm Beach plan set for FBC wind compliance.
Confusing HVHZ and Non-HVHZ Requirements — Overselling or Underselling Complexity
Installers who work both Broward/Miami-Dade (HVHZ) and Palm Beach County (non-HVHZ) sometimes confuse the requirements. Palm Beach doesn't need Miami-Dade NOA — but it does need FBC-compliant wind calcs. Applying HVHZ documentation to Palm Beach adds unnecessary complexity and cost; omitting FBC wind calcs for Palm Beach fails plan review. The correct standard is FBC wind zone — not HVHZ.

Four Things That Define Solar in West Palm Beach.
Not HVHZ
Palm Beach County Is North of the HVHZ — Standard Florida Building Code Applies
The High Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties only. Palm Beach County uses standard Florida Building Code wind zone requirements — hurricane-rated racking is required but Miami-Dade NOA certification is not. This distinction matters: Palm Beach installers do not need to source HVHZ-certified components, significantly simplifying equipment selection. Standard FBC wind calcs — not HVHZ engineering — is the correct standard for all Palm Beach County solar installations.
FPL NEM
FPL Net Metering — Credits Solar Generation Against Monthly Consumption
Florida Power & Light (FPL, a NextEra subsidiary) serves all of Palm Beach County with net metering. FPL credits solar generation against consumption at the retail rate, with monthly credit rollover. FPL interconnection applications typically process in 4 to 8 weeks for residential systems. Submit the FPL application simultaneously with the municipal building permit.
30+ AHJs
Palm Beach County Has 30+ Municipalities — Each With Its Own Building Department
Palm Beach County has more than 30 incorporated municipalities, each with its own building department: West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Lake Worth Beach, Greenacres, and more. Unincorporated Palm Beach County uses the Palm Beach County Building Division. We confirm the exact building department per address for every project.
FL Tax Exempt
Florida Property Tax Exemption — Permanent Solar Value Protection
Florida permanently exempts 100% of solar system value from property tax assessment. A solar installation adding $25,000 to assessed home value in Palm Beach County — where property values are high — pays zero additional property taxes every year the system operates. Florida also exempts solar equipment from sales tax. These exemptions remain the primary state incentives after the federal 25D credit expiration.
