If your HOA has restrictions on the use of hurricane shutters or is allowed to create such a rule, then the answer is YES. But it’s not just your HOA you have to be concerned about, Florida Building code also prohihits you from closing off certain rooms with a hurricane shutter when the house is occupied. Additionally, if the hurricane panel does not meeting Florida building code specificiaions it can only be used temporarily during the immiment threat of a hurricane.
