Do I need a permit for roof replacement or repair in Pembroke Pines?

Permit required

Yes. In Florida, roof replacement or repair generally requires a permit, and Pembroke Pines is no exception.

Florida requires a permit to replace or recover a roof, and most repairs above a small area also need one. Under the Florida 25 percent rule, if 25 percent or more of a roof section is repaired or replaced within 12 months, that section must be brought up to the current Florida Building Code. The roofing system usually needs Florida Product Approval.

Florida and local notes for Pembroke Pines

Roofing in the HVHZ is the strictest work in the state. Coverings, underlayment and fasteners must carry product approval for HVHZ use, and the roof assembly is inspected in stages rather than signed off at the end. Products need approval for HVHZ use, and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is commonly accepted here as evidence of it. Your city issues the permit, not the county. Broward's 31 municipal building departments each run their own permitting and inspections, while the county Board of Rules and Appeals sets code interpretation and the countywide amendments they all work from. The Broward County Amendments to the Florida Building Code, published by the Board of Rules and Appeals under the county charter, apply on top of the state code everywhere in the county. Individual cities can add their own amendments as well, so confirm both. The Pembroke Pines Building Department lists roofing among the work that requires a building permit, and the city's Re-Roof Permit Checklist calls for the HVHZ Roofing Package. If the home is insured or valued over $300,000, a Roof to Wall Connection Affidavit must be completed by a licensed general, residential, or building contractor, a registered architect or engineer, or a person certified under FS 468. City Ordinance 2013-09 requires roll-off containers for construction debris, including reroofing debris, to come from the city's exclusive hauler, Waste Pro. The city states violations can bring fines of up to $250 per day.
