Re-roofs ยท Progress Village
Roof replacement in Progress Village, FL
The typical home in Progress Village was built around 2011, according to Census estimates. That means many of the roofs here are likely the originals from that period, or only one re-roof past them. If you are planning a replacement, the Hillsborough County building office issues the permit, and Florida code sets what the new roof must include.

Local housing
How 2011 housing age shapes your roof decision
About 53.8 percent of the 4,643 housing units here were built in 2010 or later, according to Census estimates. Only about 17.1 percent were built before 2000. That suggests a large share of the roofs are on the original build or a single replacement, so their age varies more than the 2011 median implies.
About 64.8 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. If you own yours, the roof decision is yours to make and to pay for, and the county will want the owner's name on the permit application.
Permit and inspections
What a re-roof permit requires in Progress Village
Because this community sits outside any city limit, the Hillsborough County building office is the agency that issues your permit. The county permit portal at Building Permits and Records is where the application starts. A Tampa or Temple Terrace permit does not apply on this side of the county line.
Once a permit is issued here, work must begin within 6 months, and an approved inspection must come within 180 days to keep it active. Plan the crew schedule around those dates.
Before the first inspection, the county requires a recorded and posted Notice of Commencement on larger contracts. Missing it can mean paying twice for the same work, so confirm the paperwork with the building office before the crew arrives.
Code rules
The 25 percent rule and older roofs
If more than 25 percent of the roof area is repaired or replaced within any 12-month period, the whole roof covering must be replaced to current code. A roof built or repaired to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later can qualify for a narrower rule, and a local government cannot change that exception by ordinance.
Florida also requires a secondary water barrier and proper deck nailing on a re-roof. Confirm the exact requirements for your roof with the Hillsborough County building office before you sign a contract.

The Census median year built is 2011, and about 53.8 percent of housing units were built in 2010 or later. Only about 17.1 percent were built before 2000. Many roofs here are likely original or single-replacement roofs, so age can differ from house to house.

Does my insurer care how old my roof is?
Florida law bars an insurer from refusing to issue or renew a homeowner's policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old. For a roof 15 years or older, the insurer must let the homeowner have an authorized inspector check it at the homeowner's expense, and it cannot refuse or non-renew solely for age if the inspection shows 5 or more years of useful life left. Ask your insurer or agent how these terms apply to your policy.
