Housing age

How old are roofs in Naranja

About 42 percent of Naranja's housing units were built in 2010 or later, compared with about 11 percent countywide. That is roughly four times the county share. Many roofs here are likely still young enough to have decades of useful life ahead.

Only 10.9 percent of homes here were built before 1980. Those older roofs are the ones most likely to hit insurance age limits, so find the install date of your own roof before you assume anything.

Citizens Property Insurance sets age thresholds of 25 years for shingle roofs and 50 years for tile, slate, clay, concrete or metal. Past those ages, it wants papers showing at least five years of life left. Check with your insurance company or agent to learn which rule governs your policy.

Questions

Naranja roofing questions

Is my roof in Naranja too old to insure?

Insurers look at roof age and remaining useful life. Citizens Property Insurance requires documentation of at least five years of remaining useful life for roofs older than 25 years if they are shingle, or 50 years if they are tile, slate, clay, concrete or metal. The median home in Naranja was built in 2007, so your roof may be younger than that. Check your own roof's install date and confirm the rule with your insurer or agent.

How long is a roof permit good for in Naranja?

Under Florida Building Code section 105.4.1, a roof permit becomes invalid if work does not begin within 6 months of issuance, or if work is suspended or abandoned for 6 months. Passing an approved inspection within 180 days is treated as evidence that work is still moving forward. Naranja permits come from the county's Building & Permits office, so confirm the dates with them. Many homes in the area date to around 2007, so older roofs are common here and are often replaced on a permit like this one.
