Serving Panama City and Bay County
Panama City is the county seat of Bay County on St. Andrew Bay. We serve homeowners in Panama City, Lynn Haven, Callaway, Springfield, Parker, Youngstown, Southport and Panama City Beach, and east to Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe.
Bay County is in HUD Wind Zone II, while Gulf County next door is in Wind Zone III. After Hurricane Michael, many homes in this area were replaced or repaired and re-set. If yours was, it’s worth confirming that every strap was re-tensioned, the longitudinal system was installed and the centerline ties are in place on double-wides.
Bay County wind zone & storm notes
Bay County is in HUD Wind Zone II. Every Florida county is in Wind Zone II or III, so even inland homes are built and anchored for high wind. Hurricane Michael made a Category 5 landfall near Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air Force Base, southeast of Panama City, in October 2018. The National Hurricane Center calls it the strongest hurricane landfall on record in the Florida Panhandle.
Wind zones: 24 CFR 3280.305.
A tip for Panama City homeowners
Even homes that came through Michael may have loosened straps or anchors that pulled in saturated ground. If you haven’t had your Bay County home looked at since, a free tie-down inspection is a good place to start.
