Housing age

Why roofs in Citrus Park are reaching replacement age

About 59.7 percent of homes here were built before 2000, and only 10.2 percent before 1980. Most roofs on these homes are therefore from the 1990s or early 2000s.

Owner-occupied homes make up 66.4 percent of occupied homes here. Many owners will carry the cost of a replacement themselves, so timing matters.

Permits and rules

What a re-roof here sets in motion

Since Citrus Park is not incorporated as a city, you apply for roof permits through the Hillsborough County building department. Confirm the current permit steps with that office before work begins.

Under the 25 percent rule, no more than 25 percent of the roof area may be redone in any 12-month period unless the entire roof covering is replaced. Florida applies the same limit to roofs in the state's high-wind zone.

If the existing roof was built or repaired to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the replaced portion must meet the current code. No city or town council can override that exemption through a local ordinance.

Local weather

Rain and storms that test a replacement roof

The rainy season on the Tampa Bay coast runs from May 25 to October 10. Plan roof work with that window in mind.

Hurricane Hermine in 2016 brought 2 to 4 feet of inundation to Tampa Bay and heavy freshwater flooding in Hillsborough County. Ask a contractor how the new roof will handle standing water and ventilation.
