Insurer roof forms on 1970s Pompano houses

Citizens Property Insurance, the state insurer, requires a 4-point inspection covering electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roof for dwelling applications on properties more than 20 years old. With 66.9 percent of the city's homes built before 1980, that takes in most of Pompano Beach. The roof section records the covering, its age, remaining useful life, the date of the last roofing permit and the condition, with a photo of each slope.

Roof age runs on two separate lines. Under Fla. Stat. 627.7011(5), a homeowner insurer cannot refuse or non-renew solely because a roof is under 15 years old, and for an older roof it must accept an authorized inspection showing at least 5 years of useful life. Citizens separately asks for that 5-year documentation once a shingle roof passes 25 years, or a tile, concrete or metal roof passes 50.

Wind

Wind mitigation in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone

The state wind mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26), gives Broward homes their own wind-region box, HVHZ, and lists the 1994 South Florida Building Code as a code era for them. It grades roof covering approval, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape and the secondary water barrier, and stays valid up to five years if nothing material changes.

The discounts it supports apply only to the hurricane-wind part of a policy, and the state's consumer notice says they are not added together; the size of any credit comes from your own insurer.

For part-year residents, timing is the practical question. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 and peaks around September 10, so a look before leaving in spring and another after the season ends brackets the riskiest months.

Questions

Roof inspections in Pompano Beach: questions

What does a Citizens roof inspection in Pompano Beach have to include?

Photos of every roof slope and a qualified signature. Citizens' Roof Inspection Form must be signed by a general, residential, building or roofing contractor, a building code inspector or a Florida-licensed home inspector, and it records the roof's remaining useful life; a full 4-point form with those slope photos can take its place. On a Pompano Beach home built around the 1974 median, the form will note covering type, age, last permit date and any listed damage, from curling to soft decking.

How long is a wind mitigation report good for in Pompano Beach?

Up to five years. The current form, OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26), took effect April 1, 2026 and stays valid for five years as long as no material changes are made to the house and no inaccuracies turn up. A re-roof changes items the form grades, so a Pompano Beach home re-roofed under Broward's hurricane-zone code may score differently on deck attachment and the secondary water barrier. Standard underlayment or hot-mopped felt alone does not count as a secondary water barrier on this form.

How should a seasonal owner keep tabs on a Pompano Beach roof?

Plan around the calendar and the paperwork. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, so a check before you leave and a second one after the season shows what changed while the unit sat empty; 13.3 percent of Pompano Beach housing units are held for seasonal or occasional use. Keep dated photos with each inspection. For insurance, a roof's age and condition are recorded on the insurer's forms, and Florida requires notice of a new claim within 1 year of the date of loss, so damage found late is still worth reporting to your insurer promptly.
