Registration details
  • state_level: Roofing is a separately licensed trade in Florida. Section 489.105(3)(e), Florida Statutes, defines a "Roofing contractor" as "a contractor whose services are unlimited in the roofing trade"; section 489.113(2) provides that a person "must be certified or registered in order to engage in the business of contracting in this state." A state-certified contractor may work anywhere in Florida; under section 489.117(1)(b), "Registration allows the registrant to engage in contracting only in the counties, municipalities, or development districts where he or she has complied with all local licensing requirements, if any, and only for the type of work covered by the registration." Section 489.103(7) contains an owner-builder exemption for "Owners of property when acting as their own contractor and providing direct, onsite supervision themselves of all work not performed by licensed contractors"; this record does not decide whether a particular reader falls within it.
  • county_level: City Code section 8-32 accepts, in place of a state license, "A current certificate of competency issued by the county central examining board, for the category in which they practice, along with a copy of their state construction industry licensing board registration card."
  • city_level: City Code section 8-32: "To be eligible for issuance of building permits, licensed contractors must file with the building division and annually update" a current state license or county certificate of competency "for the category in which they practice," a current county occupational license, and "Proof of an active contractor's liability insurance policy, to be supplied directly from the contractor's insurance agent," with an annual records fee set by resolution. The county occupational license is a business tax, not a trade credential. On owner-builders, the City's permit applications page states that an owner-builder who does not do all the work "must supervise the work, and hire licensed trade subcontractors (electrician, plumbing, a/c, and roof) in accordance with state law," and must "personally appear for all permitting, provide proof that the property is properly insured and be present for all inspections." The City's Owner-Builder Affidavit lists "Roofing/ Reroofing" among the permit types an owner-builder may seek. Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1512.3.1 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) states that the HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application is to be "completed and executed by a licensed contractor"; this record does not decide how that reads against the owner-builder route.
Permit process note
Re-roofing in Hallandale Beach is permit work. The City's Building Division page states that it "is responsible for permitting, inspections, and ensuring construction complies with applicable codes and regulations" and that "All permit-related documents must be submitted through our online portal." Hallandale Beach is in Broward County, part of the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), where Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1512.3 states: "Permits within the HVHZ shall be required for all work in connection with the application, repair or maintenance of any roofing component or any roofing assembly and/or any of its components except as otherwise permitted in Section 105 of this code." The Broward County administrative amendments to the Florida Building Code, which "apply countywide in both incorporated and unincorporated areas of Broward County, Florida," require a permit for "The application, construction, or repair of any roof covering, as provided in Chapter 15, for work exceeding fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00)" (Section 105.3.1.4.10). The City's Building Applications and Forms page lists for roofing the HVHZ Uniform Roofing Application Form, a Roofing Mitigation Form (Hurricane Mitigation Application), the Owners Notification for Roofing Consideration, a Renailing Affidavit and a Roof To Wall Affidavit. A Notice of Commencement "is required to be submitted when the total contract price is greater than $5,000." The City's Building Permits Fee Booklet lists roofing among the trades assessed base permit fees, and makes any work commenced before a permit is obtained subject to double the base permit fee for each trade, plus a fine of $250 for a first offense and $500 for a second offense. State law makes it "unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, or governmental entity to construct, erect, alter, modify, repair, or demolish any building within this state without first obtaining a permit" (section 553.79(1)(a), Florida Statutes).
Inspection requirements
The City's Building Division FAQ states that inspection requests are called in to (954) 457-2220, option 1, or made online through the Citizen Self Service portal "prior to 4:00pm the day before inspection day," that "The maximum number of inspections scheduled is 15 per day on a first-come, first-serve basis," and that "Inspection Cards must be readily available onsite for the inspector to sign off." Roofing inspectors are reached at (954) 457-3066. Under the Broward County amendments (Section 110.3) the City's required roof inspections include a roof sheathing inspection "prior to application of base or anchor coat of roofing" and a roofing inspection "in accordance with Chapter 15 of the FBC, and Section 706 of the FBC, Existing Building." For a reroof the roofing qualifier signs the City's Renailing Affidavit, affirming that the qualifier "will personally inspect and be responsible for the re-nailing of the existing roof sheathing." The City's Building Permits Fee Booklet (October 1, 2024) charges $80 per discipline for a disapproved inspection and for the re-inspection of the same work, $160 for the third re-inspection and $240 for the fourth and later re-inspections.
Adopted code
Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective December 31, 2023 (Rule 61G20-1.001, F.A.C.), including its High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) provisions, which apply in Broward County; section 553.73(6), Florida Statutes, provides that the code and each update "is deemed adopted for use statewide without adoptions by local government." City Code section 8-31: "The most recent edition of the Florida Building Code with Broward County Administrative Provisions, as from time to time amended, in force in the city by operation of law, is recognized as the building code for the city by express reference." The Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals' Broward County Amendments to the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition, Chapter 1 (Administration), "shall apply countywide in both incorporated and unincorporated areas of Broward County, Florida." City Code Chapter 8, Buildings, Construction and Condominiums (read in full), contains no technical amendment to the Florida Building Code; its green building program applies to development types reviewed at site plan, not to roof replacement. The City's renailing affidavit cites the "FBC, 8th Edition - 2023." Because Hallandale Beach is in the HVHZ, roofing on houses follows Florida Building Code, Building, Sections 1512 through 1525 rather than Chapter 9 of the Residential volume, whose Section R901.1 states: "Exception: Buildings and structures located within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 44."
Drip edge
Required — In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1518.7.3.4 requires for asphalt shingle roofs that "All perimeter termination and valleys shall be fabricated from metal", and Section 1518.7.3.3 states that "Shingles shall not extend more than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) beyond the eave and rake drip." Section 1517.6.2.1 sets the drip edge profile: "The vertical face shall be a minimum of 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) and shall extend down not less than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) below the sheathing or other member immediately contiguous thereto. In all cases, the deck flange shall be not less than 2 inches (51 mm) in width," and "The deck flange shall be nailed with an approved minimum 12 gage annular ring shank nail at 4 inches (102 mm) o.c." (1517.6.2.6). Neither Broward County's amendments, which contain only Chapter 1 (Administration), nor City Code Chapter 8 (read in full) amend these sections. About drip edge
Mid-roof inspection
Required — The Broward County amendments to the Florida Building Code, which apply in the City, list among required building inspections: "Roof Sheathing. To be made after placement of panels or planking and sheathing fasteners, prior to application of base or anchor coat of roofing." and "Roofing Inspection. To be made in accordance with Chapter 15 of the FBC, and Section 706 of the FBC, Existing Building." (Section 110.3). Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1512.4.1 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) adds that "Certain roofing inspections shall be performed during specific phases of the applications"; for shingle, tile and other discontinuous roofs these include "During or after application of the base sheet, anchor sheet or underlayment of any roofing system" (1512.4.2.1) and "During the installation of any prepared roof covering, such as shingles, tiles, slates, shakes and similar" (1512.4.2.3), with a TAS 106 field verification and static uplift test for adhesive-set and mortar-set tile before the final inspection (1512.4.2.4).
Repair permit threshold
Broward County administrative amendments to the Florida Building Code (Section 105.2, applying countywide): "No permit will be required for maintenance or repair of any roof covering, as provided in Chapter 15, for work not exceeding fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00) as determined by the Building Official." A permit is required for "The application, construction, or repair of any roof covering, as provided in Chapter 15, for work exceeding fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00)" (Section 105.3.1.4.10). Since July 1, 2026, section 553.79(1)(g), Florida Statutes, reads: "A local government that issues building permits shall exempt an owner of a single-family dwelling or the owner's contractor from the requirement to obtain a building permit to perform any work valued at less than $7,500 on the owner's property," does not apply to "Work on a property that is partially or entirely located in a flood hazard area" or to "Any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical, or gas work," requires "a written request for exemption to the local enforcement agency with a copy of the contract," and provides that "A construction project may not be divided into more than one project for the purpose of evading the requirements of this paragraph." In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1521.4 also provides: "Not more than 25 percent of the total roof area or roof section of any existing building or structure shall be repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period unless the roof covering on the entire existing roof system or roof section is replaced or recovered to conform to the requirements of this code." Its exception: where the existing roof was built, repaired or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, "only the repaired, replaced, or recovered portion is required to be constructed in accordance with the Florida Building Code in effect, as applicable."
Wind design criteria
Hallandale Beach is in Broward County, part of the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; the code's definition states: "This zone consists of Broward and Miami-Dade counties." In the HVHZ, "All roof coverings, roof systems and roof assemblies shall be designed and installed to resist the windload requirements of Chapter 16 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones) of this code" (Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1514.1). Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1620.2 sets the wind velocity (3-second gust) used in structural calculations for Broward County at 156 mph for Risk Category I, 170 mph for Risk Category II, 180 mph for Risk Category III and 185 mph for Risk Category IV buildings and structures, and Section 1620.3 states: "All buildings and structures shall be considered to be in Exposure Category C, unless Exposure Category D applies, as defined in Section 26.7 of ASCE 7." The HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application must include calculations under Chapter 16 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones) "unless the roofing assembly is less than the height/pressure threshold allowed in the applicable protocols herein" (Section 1512.3.2), and its tile uplift worksheet notes: "Method 2 may be utilized within Broward County Exposure C only." Asphalt shingles in the HVHZ are limited to "a roof mean height of 33 feet (10 m), unless otherwise specifically noted in the product approval" (Section 1518.7.2).
Roof layer limit / recover
Hallandale Beach is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where reroofing follows Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1521 rather than the Residential code's reroofing section. Neither Broward County's amendments to the Florida Building Code, which contain only Chapter 1 (Administration), nor City Code Chapter 8 (read in full) amend anything in Section 1521. Section 1521.9: "One additional roofing system may be applied over an original roofing assembly, providing the existing roofing assembly complies with the requirements of Section 1521." Section 1521.17: "Asphalt shingle assemblies may be applied over one existing layer of asphalt shingles having not more than 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) difference in level in the existing shingle material." Section 1521.16: "No recover application shall take place over existing wood shingles, shakes, slate, tile or metal shingles." Section 1521.19: "Roof coverings or roofing components, such as tile, slate or similar, shall not be applied over an existing roofing system." Section 1521.5 also bars a roofing system "over an existing roof or over an existing roof deck where the roof sheathing has not been fastened in compliance with this code or where the roof sheathing will not permit effective fastening or where sheathing is water soaked or deteriorated so that effective attachment is not possible."
Deck & sheathing requirements
High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules (Florida Building Code, Building): "All roofing systems and prepared roof coverings shall be installed over solid decks, unless otherwise specifically allowed in other sections of this code" (1515.2.1). On a reroof, no new roofing system may go over a deck "where the roof sheathing has not been fastened in compliance with this code"; "All areas of deteriorated sheathing shall be removed and replaced" (1521.5). Where an existing sloped roof has spaced sheathing, "New sheathing shall be applied in compliance with Chapter 16 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones), or open spacing shall be filled with dimensional lumber to create solid wood sheathing"; "Spaced sheathing is approved for use with wood shakes and wood shingles only" (1521.15). The City's Renailing Affidavit cites Section 2322.2.8: "When existing roofs are reroofed to the point that the existing roofing is removed down to the sheathing, the existing roof sheathing shall be renailed with 8d common nails," with nail spacing of "6-inches (152 mm) on center at panel edges, 6-inches (152 mm) on center at intermediate supports and, where applicable, 4-inches (102 mm) on center over gable ends and subfascia. Existing fasteners may be used to achieve such minimum spacing." The City's Hurricane Mitigation Application applies Florida Building Code, Existing Building, Section 706.8, which requires roof-to-wall connections to be improved when the roof covering on a wood-deck structure with an insured value (or, if uninsured, a just valuation) of $300,000 or more is removed and replaced; it asks whether the structure was permitted under the 1994 South Florida Building Code or later, and notes that "if the priorities cannot be done for 15% of the re-roofing cost, then no work is required." The Owners Notification for Roofing Considerations in the City's forms warns: "When replacing roofing, the existing wood roof deck may have to be renailed in accordance with the current provisions of Chapter 16 (High Velocity Hurricane Zones)."
Sales & use tax
7% combined: the 6% Florida state sales and use tax plus Broward County's 1% discretionary sales surtax, which Florida Department of Revenue Form DR-15DSS for Calendar Year 2026 lists with an effective date of January 1, 2019 and an expiration date of December 31, 2048. Under Rule 12A-1.051, Florida Administrative Code, "Roofing work" is a real property contract, and "Contractors are the ultimate consumers of materials and supplies they use to perform real property contracts and must pay tax on their costs of those materials and supplies, unless the contractor has entered a retail sale plus installation contract"; such contractors "should charge no tax to their customers, regardless of whether they itemize charges for materials and labor in their proposals or invoices." The rate is the roofer's cost on materials, repair and replacement alike, not a tax charged to the homeowner.
