Commercial roofing in Leisure City, FL

The Miami-Dade County Regulatory and Economic Resources building office issues roof permits for Leisure City, which is unincorporated. On 2026-10-05, we confirmed that the county page displayed correctly. Confirm your permit path with that office before work starts.

Miami-Dade is one of two counties in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which carries the strong hurricane provisions adopted after Hurricane Andrew. Under the HVHZ chapter, every roofing repair or replacement needs an HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application completed by a licensed contractor. Inspections cover the membrane during installation and a final inspection.

Product approval is checked against the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. A Miami-Dade product has to carry a current NOA number, and that NOA must be available at the job site on request. Verify the NOA number and expiration date against the county's Product Control records, which review and approve roofing products.

Ask each bidder how the roof will drain. Positive roof drainage is defined as drainage that provides enough additional slope to clear the roof within 48 hours of precipitation. Local rain is heavy: Miami International Airport averages 67.41 inches a year, and it records 89.6 days with at least 0.10 inch. A bid that does not address ponding is incomplete.

• Confirm the HVHZ permit application and product approval are named in the bid.
• Ask how secondary overflow drains or scuppers are handled where parapets trap water.
• Ask whether the bidder will notify the owner in writing of any ponding risk before work starts.
• Check that roofing work is performed by a certified or registered roofing contractor.

Ask whether an existing roof can be recovered or must be torn off to the deck. Recovery is barred where the existing roof is water-soaked or deteriorated, or where it already has two or more layers of covering.
