Roof replacement in Pasadena Hills, FL
The median home in Pasadena Hills was built in 2003, plus or minus 6 years. That suggests many roofs here are now in their second decade or later. If you are weighing a roof replacement, the age of the roof, not just its condition, shapes what the county will ask of you.

Housing age
How the age of your house affects your roof
About 43.5 percent of housing units here were built in 2010 or later. Another 23.5 percent were built before 1980. So the roofs you see on the street come from two very different eras, and a 1980s roof and a 2015 roof will not be handled the same way.
Mobile homes make up 23.8 percent of housing units. Owners of those homes should check the roof label and the age of any re-roof before they plan work, since older manufactured-home roofs may not match current wind rules.
Permits here
Permits, inspections and the 25% rule
Because Pasadena Hills is an unincorporated community, roof permits go to Pasco County Building Construction Services, not a city office.
The Florida Building Code caps repairs or replacements at 25 percent of a roof in any 12-month span, unless the entire roof covering gets replaced. When your roof was built or repaired under the 2007 code or newer, just the repaired section has to satisfy current code.
Questions
Roof replacement in Pasadena Hills: questions
What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?
The 25% rule limits how much of a roof can be repaired or replaced in one 12-month period. The Florida Building Code says no more than 25 percent of the total roof area may be redone unless the entire roof covering is replaced. A roof falls under the exception to the 25 percent rule only if that roof was built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, which took effect March 1, 2009, and in that case only the repaired portion needs to meet today's code. The 2007 code took effect March 1, 2009, and the exception applies to a roof only if that roof itself was built, repaired or replaced to that code or a later edition. That exception stays in force regardless of any local ordinance. To find out how this applies to your roof, contact the Pasco County building office.

Does my insurer care how old my roof is?
Florida law bars an insurer from refusing a homeowner policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old. If your roof is 15 years old or older, your insurer must allow an authorized inspector to examine it, and you cover the cost. Citizens requires at least five years of remaining useful life for roofs older than 25 years of shingle. Check with your insurer or agent to learn what documentation they require.
