Highland Beach requires construction materials to be secured on a hurricane watch, and roof tiles not yet fastened to be removed or secured before a warning; ignoring the building official can bring a stop-work order and a fine of up to $5,000 set by the Town Commission after the storm. Owners must keep seawalls in good repair, and a code enforcement order can require abatement within 30 days.
