Re-roofs ยท Mangonia Park

Roof replacement in Mangonia Park, FL

The median home in Mangonia Park was built in 1981, according to Census survey estimates with a margin of error of plus or minus 6 years. That suggests many roofs here are on their original covering or a first replacement. Your roof is likely older than the newest codes, and a re-roof here triggers rules that a shingle job on a newer house would not.

Permits and rules

What a re-roof in Mangonia Park has to meet

Mangonia Park roofing permits are handled by the Town of Mangonia Park Building, Planning and Zoning office. Check there before work starts. The city's page lists which department handles building and permits.

Florida's 25 percent rule governs partial work. If more than 25 percent of the roof area is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period, the entire roof covering must be replaced. Your existing roof can be exempt if it was built or repaired under the 2007 Florida Building Code or a newer edition, in which case only the section that was repaired has to satisfy current code.

The median year built for homes here is 1981, but that describes homes, not roofs. To use the 2007 exception, a roof must have been built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or any later edition, and the 2007 code took effect on March 1, 2009. The exception depends on when that particular roof was done, not on when the home was built. Ask the building office which edition your roof was built under before you plan partial work.

Inspections

Inspections and the permit clock in Palm Beach County

The High Velocity Hurricane Zone is limited to Miami-Dade and Broward, so Palm Beach County falls outside it. That means the HVHZ uniform roofing permit application does not apply to a Mangonia Park re-roof, though the statewide code still governs construction and repair.

Work must begin within 6 months after a permit is issued, and a permit also expires if work sits idle for 6 months. Unless someone keeps working on it in good faith, an application lapses 180 days after it is filed. A Notice of Commencement must be recorded and posted before the first inspection, or the owner may pay twice for the same work.

  • Confirm the permit with the town building office before any tear-off.
  • Expect the building office to require a copy of the Notice of Commencement before the first inspection.
  • Keep the permit active with inspections within each 180-day window.

Questions

Roof replacement in Mangonia Park: questions

What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?

The 25 percent rule says that if more than 25 percent of a roof area is repaired, replaced or recovered within 12 months, the whole roof covering must be replaced. The rule is in the Florida Building Code, section 1511.1.1. Mangonia Park's 1981 median build year means many roofs here fall under the older rules, so ask the Town of Mangonia Park building office how it applies to your roof before you plan partial work.

Does a roof permit in Palm Beach County need a notice of commencement?

Yes. Before the first inspection, Florida law calls for a Notice of Commencement to be both recorded and displayed at the job site. If it is missing, the owner may pay twice for the same improvements. Palm Beach County is outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, but the statewide code still governs this work.

How many homes in Mangonia Park are owner-occupied?

About 31.8 percent of occupied homes in Mangonia Park are owner-occupied, compared with 70.1 percent for Palm Beach County. A lower owner share can mean more rental roofs, where the owner and the occupant may not be the same person. Confirm with your building office who must sign the permit.
