Roof replacement in Marion Oaks, FL

No. The exception in Fla. Stat. 553.844(5) and R908.1.1 applies to roofs built, repaired or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition, and that edition took effect on March 1, 2009. A first roof on a 2002 Marion Oaks house was built under an earlier edition. So the 25% limit applies in full: repair, replace or recover more than 25% of a roof section within 12 months, and the whole section must be redone to current code.

It changes the answers the form asks, so plan on a fresh look. OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26) records the roof covering, the deck attachment and whether a secondary water barrier is present, and it stays valid up to five years only if no material changes are made. On a 2002 house, the re-roof is often when the deck gets re-nailed and sealed. The state's notice says wind credits apply only to the hurricane-wind part of a policy and are not added together. Ask your insurer whether to submit a new form.

Often, yes. Under Fla. Stat. 713.135(1)(e), the permitting office requires a copy before the first inspection when the direct contract is above a set amount, and FBC-B 105.8 has the permit card warn owners that skipping the notice can mean "paying twice" for the work. In Marion Oaks, that office is Marion County Building Safety. The notice is recorded and posted on the job site before the sheathing inspection, which is the first one on a re-roof.
