15822 73rd Terrace N, Palm Beach Gardens FL 33418 is a bank owned property located in Palm Beach Country Estates at the end of Donald Ross Rd. It is technically unincorporated Palm Beach County but has a Palm Beach Gardens mailing address. This house has 3 beds, 2 baths and an oversized 2 car garage plus a pool with the back yard facing east. The street it is located on IS PAVED and has well maintained houses around it. The base construction is wood framed and there is some wood rot on the lower 12″ or so of the siding in just a few places. Most of the siding OK however as the house slab is well elevated above the surrounding grade. The full interior needs a facelift but the basic lay out of the house, room sizes and allocation are all very good. So one will need to renovate the kitchen but not reconfigure something screwball. The pool needs refinishing and perhaps equipment but the pool is there at least. Just need to clean it up a bit. DID I MENTION THIS IS A PAVED STREET. This is a HUGE plus in PBCE. With the wood rot, it will be tough to finance this property soi if you’ve got some cash this one just dropped the price from 370k to 345k.
Moving right along in our discussion on hurricane resistant homes. Part 2
OK, so we are comfortable with the surface flood and storm surge risk discussed in Part 1. Now how about the house itself.
First, let’s look at when the building was constructed OR when major renovations like the roof, doors or windows replaced. The building codes changed across Florida when the 2001 Florida Building Code was implemented after March 1, 2002. Even though in Palm Beach County the loads to be resisted by the house did not change all that much the detailing of houses did. Most notably, prior to this, hurricane shutters or impact rated windows were NOT required IF the home was built to withstand the wind loads as if it had been breached. Looked good on paper but by then all that wind and water was inside. Insurance companies use basic construction date and building code information for determining rates. If your home, or major renovations (roof, impact protection, were constructed under a building permit issued based on the 2001 or later FBC you will get the preferred insurance rates and often without the need for an inspection.
So, 2002 or better construction and major renovations like roof and windows is preferred.
The next installment in this series. CBS or wood frame?

I had occasion to look into this question as I just listed the home at 13133 Alton Rd in the Alton Developement in Palm Beach Gardens which also includes Artistry. I looked at the taxes and noted 2 non ad valorem line items paid to the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement district noted as N.P.B. CO. IMPROV. DIST. 2C DEBT and N.P.B. CO. IMPROV. DIST. […]
Since Palm Beach County complies with the National Flood Insurance Program they set the minimum elevation of all new, or substantially improved structures. MOST, but not all, of Palm Beach Country Estates is in FEMA Flood Zone X, so not in the flood zone. If you’re in the very north end of the community you may be in the flood zone. If one looks at […]
