Florida Uniform Roofing Permit Application

Florida jurisdictions run re-roofs through the uniform roofing permit application, and Miami-Dade and Broward add the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone sections. Plan reviewers check the roof system, the design uplift pressures by zone and the deck re-nailing scope before anything else.

Who uses it

Roofing contractors working in Miami-Dade, Broward and the rest of Florida, including insurance restoration crews.

What the generated document includes

  • Roof system type with low-slope and steep-slope areas broken out
  • Design wind pressures by zone and mean roof height
  • HVHZ declaration for Miami-Dade and Broward jobs
  • Deck type and re-nailing scope, plus license and insurance block

Mistakes that get it kicked back

  • Leaving the uplift pressures blank when the product approval is pressure-rated
  • Filing a Broward or Miami-Dade job without the HVHZ sections completed
  • Omitting the deck re-nailing scope required on tear-offs
