Roofing in Pembroke Park

South Broward town

Roof-to-wall paperwork and HOA letters

Pembroke Park's checklist spends several lines on roof-to-wall connections and community approvals.

• Roof-to-wall Depending on the home, an owner's affidavit of exemption or a roof-to-wall mitigation affidavit under FEBC 706.8; updating connections needs a special inspector form. Source
• Associations Condos and HOAs submit an association approval letter for the scope of work. Source
• Flood zones Broward's maps took effect July 31, 2024; FEMA's 50% rule applies in a flood zone. Source

Re-roof permit

Pembroke Park's roofing checklist

The town lists 17 items. These are the ones that shape a typical home re-roof.

• Product approvals NOAs or Florida approvals with the roofing components circled, and for concrete tile the values highlighted for the Section E calculations. Source
• Fire listing and calculations The fire directory listing page (FBC 1512.3.4) and design calculations under Chapter 16 or RAS 127/128. Source
• Renailing affidavit on site The water barrier and sheathing renailing affidavit stays at the job site for the tin-cap inspection rather than going in with the application. Source
• Contract and NOC A contract signed by owner and contractor, and a notice of commencement when the price is more than $5,000. Source

HVHZ, NOA, the 25% rule

Roofing code in Pembroke Park

• 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
