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) states 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) provides an owner-builder exemption for owners building or improving a one-family or two-family residence "for the occupancy or use of such owners and not offered for sale or lease"; this record does not decide whether a particular reader falls within it.
  • county_level: Miami-Dade County Code Section 10-3 makes it unlawful to act as a contractor "within the incorporated or unincorporated areas of the County, without having made application for and there having been issued a current valid certificate of competency or eligibility for the type of work done" from the state Construction Industry Licensing Board, the state Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board, or "The County's Construction Trades Qualifying Board", and "Holders of County certificates must also be registered with the State". Section 10-2 defines a roofing contractor as "a contractor qualified and certified to install, repair and replace roof systems, as defined in the Florida Building Code, and the waterproofing thereof." Section 10-5 provides that "Applications for permits will be accepted only from contractors holding a current certificate of competency and license in their respective fields", with exceptions including a sole owner's work on "a single-family or duplex residence for his own use and occupancy and not intended for sale."
  • city_level: The City's Contractors page states: "All contractors operating within the City of North Miami Beach are required to be fully licensed and insured. Additionally, the company's qualifier must register their professional license with the city of North Miami Beach to ensure compliance with local regulations." The City's Roof Check List asks for a "State License or Municipal Contractor's Tax receipt together with Business Certificate of Competency", a local business tax receipt "(from any city in the State)", liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance; the business tax receipt is a general requirement, not a contractor credential. City Code Section 14-1.6 sets conditions for owner-builder permits, including that the applicant use "for any and all roofing work, a roofing contractor; and the applicant does not himself do, or cause to be done, any such work by other than the appropriate licensed contractor," and that the applicant use "only such contractors as are certified by the State of Florida, Miami-Dade County". 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".
Permit process note
Re-roofing in North Miami Beach is permit work. The Building Department's Building Permits page states that "A building permit is required for all new construction and for any repairs or reconstruction which alters a structure" and lists "Re-roofing" among the other construction that needs a permit. The City's Procedures of Roof Permits state that "All roofing work shall comply with chapter 15 of the Florida Building Code and the Test Protocols for High Velocity Hurricane Zone," that permits are issued in the categories new roof, reroofing, recovering, repair and maintenance, and that the High Velocity Hurricane Zone Uniform Permit Application is submitted with the City's own permit application. For a re-roof the Owner's Notification for Reroofing Considerations under Florida Building Code Section 1524 must be "initialed and signed by the Owner," with copies of the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance of the product approval, the fire directory listing page and "Wind design calculations in accordance with the Chapter 16 of the Florida Building Code or If Applicable RAS 127 or RAS 128". The Permit Requirements page states that "THE SHEATHING AFFIDAVIT AND/OR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE-ROOFING AFFIDAVIT (WHICHEVER APPLICABLE) ARE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION UPON APPLICATION OF A ROOF PERMIT. NO APPLICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS." City Code Section 14-1.2 sets a roofing permit fee for single-family and duplex homes of $0.02 per square foot of roof coverage, and under Section 14-1.3, when permit work starts without a permit "the fees as specified herein shall be doubled and, in addition, the sum of two hundred ($200.00) dollars shall also be paid." North Miami Beach is in Miami-Dade 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."
Adopted code
Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective December 31, 2023 (Rule 61G20-1.001, F.A.C.); section 553.73(6), Florida Statutes, provides that the code "is deemed adopted for use statewide without adoptions by local government." The City's current roofing permit package is titled "Roof Packet Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023)" and its HVHZ Uniform Roofing Application pages cite the "Florida Building Code 8th Edition 2023"; the Building Permits page still carries an older line stating "Effective December 31, 2020, the City must use the revised Florida Building Code". City Code Section 14-1.1 adopts "The Florida Building Code, and all it's amendments, revisions interpretations" for the City "as now constituted and as later to be amended." Miami-Dade County Code Section 8-1 makes the Florida Building Code, with the County's administrative, enforcement, amendment and product approval provisions, "the building code for both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County", and Section 8-2 adopts "The High Velocity Hurricane Zone roofing requirements with accompanying Roofing Application Standards (RAS)", except that "The prescriptive BUR requirements in RAS 150 shall not be implemented in Miami-Dade County". The County's local technical amendments (Section 8-31) reach plumbing flow rates, Residential Chapter 29 and a Building Chapter 4 pool provision, and its administrative amendment (Section 8-32) reaches Section 103.3; none touches the roofing sections. The City's Chapter XIV, Building and Housing (permit fees, owner-builder permits, bonds, the building official, structure moving, pools, trailers, boilers, sewers, enforcement, relocation, seawalls and rental inspections), contains no technical roofing provision. Because North Miami Beach is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, 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 Miami-Dade County's amendments (Code Sections 8-31 and 8-32) nor the City's Chapter XIV amends these sections. About drip edge
Mid-roof inspection
Required — Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1512.4.1 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone): "All roofing work for which a permit is required shall be inspected by the building official," and "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 "prior to the final inspection" (1512.4.2.4). The City's Inspection Guidelines page states that "The Building Department requires a number of inspections to be performed during the progress of the work depending on the size of the project and based on the required inspection schedules of the Florida Building Code," and publishes a Roofing Inspection Guide.
Repair permit threshold
The City's Procedures of Roof Permits list "Repair" and "Maintenance" as roof permit categories, and Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1512.3.1 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) requires that "All new roofing construction, including recovering and reroofing, repair or maintenance shall have an HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application". The City's Building Permits page directs: "Call the Building Department at 305-948-2965 if you have a question regarding whether a permit is required for the type of work you plan to do." Section 553.79(1)(g), Florida Statutes (effective July 1, 2026), 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." A full re-roof ordinarily exceeds the $7,500 value. 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
North Miami Beach is in Miami-Dade County, part of the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), where design wind loads come from Chapter 16 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones) of the Florida Building Code, Building. Florida Building Code, Building, Section 1620.2 sets the wind velocity (3-second gust) used in structural calculations for Miami-Dade County at 165 mph for Risk Category I, 175 mph for Risk Category II, 186 mph for Risk Category III and 195 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 City's Procedures of Roof Permits require "Wind design calculations in accordance with the Chapter 16 of the Florida Building Code or If Applicable RAS 127 or RAS 128", and the HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application "shall include calculations in accordance with Chapter 16 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones) of this code, unless the roofing assembly is less than the height/pressure threshold allowed in the applicable protocols herein" (Section 1512.3.2). "Installation of all asphalt shingles shall be limited to a roof mean height of 33 feet (10 m), unless otherwise specifically noted in the product approval" (Section 1518.7.2). Roofing products need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
Roof layer limit / recover
North Miami 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 Miami-Dade County's amendments (County Code Sections 8-31 and 8-32) nor the City's Chapter XIV, Building and Housing, amends Section 1521 or states a layer limit of its own. 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." One recover over the original roof is therefore the most the code allows.
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, the existing prepared roof covering must be removed and "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" (1521.15). For houses built before the Florida Building Code, Florida Building Code, Existing Building, Section 706.7 applies when a roof covering on a wood deck is removed and replaced: "Roof-decking attachment shall be as required by Section 706.7.1" and "A secondary water barrier shall be provided as required by Section 706.7.2", with the exception that "Structures permitted subject to the Florida Building Code are not required to comply with this section." In North Miami Beach the sheathing affidavit or roofing compliance affidavit must accompany every roof permit application. The City's Affidavit of Compliance with Roof Decking Attachment and Secondary Water Barrier, "PURSUANT TO SECTION 553.844 F.S.", has the qualifying agent certify "that the roof decking attachment and fasteners have been strengthened and corrected and a secondary water barrier has been provided". The Owners Notification in the City's roof packet 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) of the Florida Building Code."
Sales & use tax
7% combined: the 6% Florida state sales and use tax plus Miami-Dade County's 1% discretionary sales surtax, which Florida Department of Revenue Form DR-15DSS for Calendar Year 2026 lists as two 0.5% surtaxes effective January 1, 1992 and January 1, 2003, each with no expiration date. The City of North Miami Beach levies no separate sales tax. For roofing, Rule 12A-1.051, F.A.C., lists "Roofing work" among real property contracts and states that "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", and that such contractors "should charge no tax to their customers". Repairs and full replacements are treated alike.

Can you roof over an existing roof in North Miami Beach, FL?

North Miami 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 Miami-Dade County's amendments (County Code Sections 8-31 and 8-32) nor the City's Chapter XIV, Building and Housing, amends Section 1521 or states a layer limit of its own. 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."

One recover over the original roof is therefore the most the code allows.
