Building stock and roofing rules for Briny Breezes

Palm Beach County falls outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers Miami-Dade and Broward only. Ordinary Florida Building Code roofing rules govern this town. Ask a contractor which edition of the code the work will follow.

Permits and bids

Who permits commercial roofing and how to compare bids

Commercial reroofs need a permit from the local building office. Confirm with the Palm Beach County building office whether a reroof permit is required for your specific building before work starts. Palm Beach County also offers a self-issued reroof application for qualifying residential reroofs, which does not cover most commercial work.

Florida's 25 percent rule applies to any existing roof. If more than 25 percent of the roof area is replaced within 12 months, the whole roof system must meet current code. Ask each bidder how the work fits this rule.

  • Ask whether the bid covers the full roof area or only a section, and how that affects the 25 percent rule.
  • Ask for the product approval number for each roofing material.
  • Confirm the contractor holds the state roofing certification the law requires for roofing work.
  • Ask who files the Notice of Commencement and when it is posted.
