Parkland roof replacement

North Broward

Parkland homes, value thresholds and flood rules

Two numbers matter on many Parkland re-roofs: the $300,000 value line on the checklist and FEMA's 50% rule in flood zones.

• Homes over $300,000 The checklist asks for the Broward County Property Appraiser assessment page when the home's value is over $300,000, tied to roof-to-wall rules. Source
• Flood-damaged homes Parkland explains that improvements equal to 50% or more of market value require the building to meet new-construction rules. Source
• Ask first The city asks owners to call the Building Department before starting work in a floodplain. Source

Re-roof permit

What Parkland's Roofing Checklist asks for

The city publishes a one-page checklist for roofs. These are the items we prepare with you.

• Applications The Broward County uniform building application, one copy of the uniform roofing permit application, the rooftop equipment form and the re-strap affidavit. Source
• Owner and asbestos The reroofing owner's notification and the asbestos statement response. Source
• Re-nailing affidavit A re-nailing and secondary water barrier affidavit, plus the property appraiser page when the home is over $300,000. Source
• Metal roofs A fire directory listing is on the checklist for metal roofing. Source
• Notice of commencement Recorded and posted before the first inspection when the job is more than $5,000. Source

HVHZ, NOA, the 25% rule

Roofing code in Parkland

• High-Velocity Hurricane Zone Broward is one of the two HVHZ counties. Roofing follows FBC §§1512–1525: every roofing component, system and assembly needs a valid, current product approval, such as a Miami-Dade NOA. Source
• Design wind speed FBC §1620.2 sets Broward's 3-second-gust design wind speed at 170 mph for Risk Category II buildings, which covers most homes (156 mph for Category I, 180 for III, 185 for IV). Source
• Uniform roofing permit form Every HVHZ roofing job, including reroofing, needs an HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application completed and signed by a licensed contractor (FBC §1512.3.1). BORA publishes the form for use across Broward. Source
• The 25% rule If your roof was built or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the portion being worked on has to meet current code, even at 25% or more of the roof (§553.844(5)). Older roofs can still need the whole section replaced. Source
• Code change on 12/31/2026 The 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code takes effect on 12/31/2026, with HVHZ changes that affect some roofing underlayment NOAs and hip and ridge shingles. Source
• Roof age and insurance An insurer can't refuse to issue or renew a homeowner's policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old. At 15 years or more, an authorized inspection showing at least 5 years of useful life left blocks a refusal on roof age alone (§627.7011(5)). Source

Check any NOA yourself on Miami-Dade's product control search or on floridabuilding.org.

Wind mitigation

Your new roof and your insurance

• Florida law requires home insurers to offer discounts for proven wind-mitigation features (§627.0629). An inspector records them on form OIR-B1-1802, Rev. 04/26. Source
• The roof questions on that form are Roof Covering (Question 4) and Sealed Roof Deck/Secondary Water Resistance (Question 8), plus roof slope, deck attachment, roof-to-wall attachment and roof geometry (Questions 3, 5, 6 and 7). Source
• My Safe Florida Home lists roof-to-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections and secondary water resistance as grant-eligible upgrades, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit. Source
