Housing age

How the age of a Parkland house affects the condition of its roof

The Census places the median build year in Parkland at 2006, a few years newer than Broward County as a whole, where the median is 1980. Just 1.5 percent of the homes in this area were built before 1980. That suggests most original roofs in the city are now in the later part of their service life, though the exact condition depends on materials and maintenance.

About 36.5 percent of Parkland's housing units were built in 2010 or later, far above the county share of 6.9 percent. Many of those newer roofs may still be in good shape. Owners of older houses should check the roof before assuming it can wait.

Permit path

Permits and inspections for a Parkland re-roof

Roof work in Broward is covered by the High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, which apply to Parkland as a Broward County city. Any new roofing, re-roofing or repair needs a permit, and the application must be completed by a licensed contractor. Parkland's roof permits are issued through the City of Parkland Building Department, so start there rather than with a general county office.

Florida's 25 percent rule limits how much of a roof can be replaced in one 12-month period without bringing the whole roof system up to current code. An existing roof permitted under the 2007 code or later only requires the repaired part to meet current code. Ask the building department which edition your existing roof was permitted under before you decide on partial work.

Confirm the permit is issued before any tear-off starts.
Ask how the two required inspections are scheduled in Parkland.
Ask the contractor about nailing of the roof deck and the secondary water barrier.

Who checks a roof for insurance purposes in Florida?

Florida law lets an insurer require an inspection of a roof 15 years old or older, paid for by the homeowner. The insurer can refuse or non-renew only if the inspection shows less than 5 years of useful life left. Parkland homes built around 2006 are often near that 15-year mark, so ask your insurer or agent about your own policy.
