Florida 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.
What goes on the Florida version
- 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
Florida is one of our code-tuned states, so the packet builder also flags the state-specific attachments this scope triggers before you file.
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
