Every roofing component, system and assembly in the HVHZ needs a valid, current product approval (FBC §1512). A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is one; the permit lists the exact approval used, and you can look it up on Miami-Dade's product control search.

What is the Broward Uniform Roofing Permit Application?
It's the HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application (FBC Section 1525), which the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals publishes for use across the county. FBC §1512.3.1 requires it for every HVHZ roofing job, completed and signed by a licensed contractor.
What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?
If the roof was built or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the part being worked on has to meet current code, even when it's 25% or more of the roof (§553.844(5)). Older roofs can still need the whole section replaced.
Will my insurer drop me because of my roof's age?
An insurer can't refuse to issue or renew solely because the roof is under 15 years old. At 15 years or more, an authorized inspection that shows at least 5 years of useful life left stops a refusal on roof age alone (§627.7011(5)).
