City of Tallahassee - Building Inspection Division

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Tallahassee, FL, issued by City of Tallahassee - Building Inspection Division. Tallahassee issues its own roofing permit, separate from the building permit. The city's permit FAQ ("When do I need a permit?") states: "Roofing Permit - Required for any repairs or installation of roofing which exceeds 100 square feet of area" and "Each construction trade requires its own permit. Applications may be filed for each trade through the City's permit portal." The city's Roofing Permit Application (BI Form AP-ROOF, 02/15/2021) asks for the roofing contractor and licence number, the cost of the improvement, the roof slope, the decking and underlayment materials and a Florida Product Approval number for the roofing product; it states that slopes less than 4 in 12 "SHALL BE APPROVED BY CODES REVIEW STAFF BEFORE PERMIT ISSUANCE" and that "ANY JOB VALUE GREATER THAN $2,500.00 THAT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A BLDG PERMIT WILL REQUIRE A NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT BEFORE FIRST INSPECTION." The city's fee schedule (Resolution No. 22-R-42, effective October 1, 2025) lists "1 Family Detached – Re-Roof" at "$18.02 Application Fee + $168.52" and "1 Family Attached and 2 Family – Re-Roof" at "$18.02 Application Fee + $50.87", and adds "A training surcharge of $2.50" to each roofing permit. Inspections are scheduled through the city's online permit portal or its phone system at 850-891-1800; the city's inspection code list names three roofing inspections: 115 Deck Re-Nailing, 116 Secondary Water Barrier and 917 Roof Final. Work started before the permit costs extra under Land Development Code Sec. 3-180(d): "Any person who commences any work on a building, structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system before obtaining the building official's approval or the necessary permits shall be subject to a penalty of 100 percent of the usual permit fee in addition to the required permit fees." Check that the property is inside the city limits first; the city's residential permit page says "For properties located outside of the City limits, please contact the Leon County Development Services Department for building permits at 850-606-1300.".

Registration details
  • state_level: Roofing is its own licensed trade in Florida. Section 489.113(2), Florida Statutes: "A person must be certified or registered in order to engage in the business of contracting in this state." Section 489.105(3)(e) defines a "Roofing contractor" as one whose services are unlimited in the roofing trade and who can "install, maintain, repair, alter, extend, or design" all kinds of roofing. A state-certified contractor may work statewide; a state-registered contractor may work only where he or she holds the local competency licence (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."). Verify a licence on the Department of Business and Professional Regulation licence search.
  • city_level: Before applying for permits, a contractor files the city's "Contractor License Registration & Requirements" form (revised 06/21/2022) with a "State of Florida Contractor's License" and "A Certificate of General Liability Insurance, Workman's Compensation Insurance, or a Workman's Compensation Certification of Exemption" naming the City of Tallahassee, Building Inspection, as certificate holder; "All license and insurance certificates shall be current prior to the issuance of a permit." The city's FAQ: "A Florida licensed contractor is required for the construction of new buildings, alteration, repairs and additions to existing buildings. Permits are issued to Florida licensed contractors and qualifying owner builders." The Roofing Permit Application quotes Section 489.113(3)(g), Florida Statutes: "No general, building or residential contractor certified after 1973 shall act as, hold himself out to be, or advertise himself to be a roofing contractor unless he is certified or registered as a roofing contractor," and adds: "Last certified contractor # that is permitted to pull roofing permit is 0007837." The city no longer issues new local contractor competency certificates (Land Development Code Sec. 3-232(a): "No new master or contractor certificate of competency shall be issued by the building official."). A city business tax certificate is a tax, not a contractor licence.
  • owner_builder: Section 489.103(7)(a), Florida Statutes, exempts owners "when acting as their own contractor and providing direct, onsite supervision themselves of all work not performed by licensed contractors" when improving one-family or two-family residences "for the occupancy or use of such owners and not offered for sale or lease." The city's FAQ: "You can obtain permits for and construct your own residence as long as the criteria at Sec. 489.103(7), Florida Statutes are met." An owner-builder signs the city's Owner Builder Disclosure Affidavit. Whether a particular owner qualifies is for the statute and the city to say, not this record.

The city's permit FAQ ("When do I need a permit?") states: "Roofing Permit - Required for any repairs or installation of roofing which exceeds 100 square feet of area" and "Each construction trade requires its own permit.

Adopted code
Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), Residential (2021 IRC base), effective December 31, 2023, adopted statewide by Rule 61G20-1.001, Florida Administrative Code. Tallahassee Land Development Code Sec. 3-82(a): "The Florida Building Code as adopted by rule of the Florida Building Commission as required by state statute, and as it may be amended from time to time, is hereby adopted and incorporated into this Code by reference"; Sec. 3-82(b): "Chapter 1 of the Florida Building Code shall be used for the administration of the Florida Building Code except as modified in this chapter." The city's local provisions in Land Development Code Chapter 3 (Buildings and Building Regulations) are administrative: appeals, the Building Inspection Division, permit extensions, right of entry, permit suspension, unsafe buildings, fees, electrical installations, floor elevations, certificates of completion and contractor certification. Chapter 3 contains no roofing provision, and the city's flood chapter (Chapter 6) contains none either. The city's "Applicable Codes and Required Code Summary Information" sheet (effective January 1, 2024) and its construction-codes FAQ list the Florida Building Code Building, Accessibility, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Plumbing and Existing Building volumes, 8th Edition (2023), the Florida Fire Prevention Code, 8th Edition, and the 2020 National Electrical Code; that list does not name the Residential volume, which the state rule adopts with the others. The Florida Building Commission's local-amendment registry lists no amendments for the City of Tallahassee under the 2023 code.
Drip edge
Required — Florida Building Code, Residential, 8th Edition (2023), Section R905.2.8.5: "Provide drip edge at eaves and gables of shingle roofs." Eave drip edges extend 1/2 inch below the sheathing and 2 inches back onto the roof and are installed over the underlayment. This applies to shingle roofs. Tallahassee's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3), read in full, contains no roofing provision, and the state registry lists no city amendment, so the state text applies unchanged. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Not required — Florida Building Code, Residential, 8th Edition (2023): "R905.1.2 Ice barriers. Reserved." There is no ice-barrier requirement in the Florida code, and Tallahassee's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3) contains no roofing provision. Self-adhered underlayment is still used in Florida, but as a secondary water barrier or underlayment method, not as an ice barrier. About ice & water barrier
Mid-roof inspection
Required — The city's inspection code list (BI Form FM-Inspections, 06/20/2022) names three roofing inspections: "115 Deck Re-Nailing", "116 Secondary Water Barrier" and "917 Roof Final." The city's re-roofing question-and-answer sheet (2007) explains the first two: "the new inspection code to request a roof deck nailing inspection is 115, and the new inspection code for the secondary water barrier is 116. In the case of roof re-cover, you would call in a secondary water barrier inspection and we will make an in-progress inspection to verify the condition of the existing roof covering." The state code's required inspections (Florida Building Code, Building, Section 110.3, which the city does not amend) include "5. Roofing inspection. Shall at a minimum include the following building components:" dry-in, insulation, roof coverings and flashing.
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — Tallahassee's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3, which adopts the Florida Building Code by reference and adds administrative provisions only) and its flood chapter (Chapter 6) contain no roof covering provision, and the state registry lists no city amendment; no UL 2218 or Class 4 impact requirement appears in the Florida Building Code's residential roofing chapter, the Building volume's roofing chapter or the Existing Building volume's reroofing provisions, or in the city's code. The city's roofing permit application asks for a Florida Product Approval number, not an impact rating. Florida's shingle classifications (ASTM D3161, TAS 107, ASTM D7158) are wind ratings, not hail-impact ratings. An insurer's discount for an impact-rated roof is not a code requirement.
Repair permit threshold
The city publishes its own roofing lines, which a full reroof exceeds. Its permit FAQ: "Roofing Permit - Required for any repairs or installation of roofing which exceeds 100 square feet of area." The city's Roofing Permit Application (02/15/2021) and fee schedule (effective October 1, 2025) use a cost line instead: "Improvements with a value less than $300.00 do not require a Roofing Permit" (application) and "Roof repairs less than $300 in cost are exempt from the residential roof permit fee" (fee schedule, footnote 6). A full reroof exceeds both lines. The same FAQ's general answer reads: "A permit is required for any new construction, addition, alteration, or repair with an estimated cost of labor and material greater than $7,500 or work that is structural (to include installing, removing, or repairing any wall or partition)." The state statute, Section 553.79(1)(g), Florida Statutes (effective July 1, 2026), exempts "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," but the exemption "does not apply to" work on a property "partially or entirely located in a flood hazard area" or to "Any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical, or gas work performed on property containing a single-family dwelling," and it requires "a written request for exemption to the local enforcement agency with a copy of the contract or other documentation demonstrating the nature and the value of the work to be performed." This record does not decide how the state exemption and the city's 100-square-foot roofing line apply to a small roof repair; ask the Building Inspection Division before skipping a permit. The city's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3) adds no roofing exemption. Separately, the Florida Building Code, Existing Building (Section 706.1.1) limits piecemeal roof work: "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." Under Section 553.844(5), Florida Statutes, where the existing roof was built, repaired or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later and 25 percent or more is being repaired, replaced or recovered, "only the repaired, replaced, or recovered portion is required to be constructed in accordance with the Florida Building Code in effect."
Wind design criteria
The city's "Applicable Codes and Required Code Summary Information" sheet (effective January 1, 2024) tells designers: "Basic Wind Speed 120 MPH WIND LOAD-3 second gust, or as interpolated, for the City of Tallahassee. Please identify wind load as per Section 1609, Wind loads." The city's 2007 re-roofing question-and-answer sheet states that a re-roof does not require additional wall-to-roof connections in the city: "We are not located in a wind borne debris region." Tallahassee is in Leon County and is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which the Florida Building Code defines as "Broward and Miami-Dade counties." Florida Building Code, Residential, Section R905.2.6.1: "Asphalt shingles shall be tested and classified in accordance with ASTM D3161, TAS 107 or ASTM D7158 and shall meet the required classification in accordance with Table R905.2.6.1 to resist the basic wind speed in accordance with Figure R301.2(4)."
Roof layer limit / recover
Florida Building Code, Residential, 8th Edition (2023), Section R908.3: "New roof coverings shall not be installed without first removing all existing layers of roof coverings where any of the following conditions occur: ... 3. Where the existing roof has two or more applications of any type of roof covering." Tear-off is also required where the existing roof is water soaked or deteriorated, where it is wood shingle or shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile, where blisters are not cut and secured, and where the existing covering cannot meet the securement provisions. One re-cover over a single existing layer is therefore the most the code allows. Tallahassee's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3), read in full, contains no roofing provision, and the state registry lists no city amendment. The city's 2007 re-roofing question-and-answer sheet says re-roofing over an existing covering is allowed "provided the existing roof covering is suitable as a base for the installation of the additional roofing" and states no layer number of its own. Chapter 9: https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/FLRC2023P1/chapter-9-roof-assemblies
Deck & sheathing requirements
On a house not originally permitted under the Florida Building Code, a reroof triggers deck re-nailing and a secondary water barrier. Florida Building Code, Existing Building, 8th Edition (2023), Section 706.7: "When a roof covering on an existing structure with a sawn lumber, wood plank or wood structural panel roof deck is removed and replaced, the following procedures shall be permitted to be performed by the roofing contractor: (a) Roof-decking attachment shall be as required by Section 706.7.1. (b) A secondary water barrier shall be provided as required by Section 706.7.2. Exception: Structures permitted subject to the Florida Building Code are not required to comply with this section." Sawn lumber or plank decking up to 12 inches wide "secured with at least two nails (minimum size 8d) to each roof framing member it crosses shall be deemed to be sufficiently connected"; wood structural panels follow the fastener table in Section 706.7.1.2. Section 706.7.2: "When a roof covering is removed and replaced, a secondary water barrier shall be installed." Tallahassee inspects both steps separately (inspection codes 115 Deck Re-Nailing and 116 Secondary Water Barrier). The city's 2007 re-roofing question-and-answer sheet applies the rule to "Existing site built single-family residential structures constructed prior to implementation of the Florida Building Code (March 1, 2002)" and adds that a re-cover without tear-off "does not constitute a 'roof replacement', which is the trigger that initiates the new roofing regulations." The city's Roofing Permit Application asks for the roof decking material and states: "RE ROOF UNDERLAYMENT SHALL BE ASTM D 226 TYPE I OR II, ASTM D 4869 TYPE II OR IV OR APPROVED SYNTHETIC." Tallahassee's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3) does not change these provisions.
Sales & use tax
7.5% combined on materials: the 6% Florida state sales and use tax plus Leon County's 1.5% discretionary sales surtax, made up of a 1% surtax (effective December 1, 1989, with an expiration date of December 31, 2039) and a 0.5% surtax (effective January 1, 2003, with an expiration date of December 31, 2027), per the Florida Department of Revenue's Form DR-15DSS for calendar year 2026. The surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of the sales amount of any single item of tangible personal property (Department of Revenue discretionary sales surtax guidance). Florida treats roofing as a real property contract (Rule 12A-1.051, Florida Administrative Code, lists "(cc) Roofing work"): "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 "They should charge no tax to their customers, regardless of whether they itemize charges for materials and labor in their proposals or invoices." Repairs and replacements are treated the same way.

Roofing questions: Tallahassee, FL

Do you need a permit to replace a roof in Tallahassee, FL?

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Tallahassee, FL. The city publishes its own roofing lines, which a full reroof exceeds. Its permit FAQ: "Roofing Permit - Required for any repairs or installation of roofing which exceeds 100 square feet of area." The city's Roofing Permit Application (02/15/2021) and fee schedule (effective October 1, 2025) use a cost line instead: "Improvements with a value less than $300.00 do not require a Roofing Permit" (application) and "Roof repairs less than $300 in cost are exempt from the residential roof permit fee" (fee schedule, footnote 6). A full reroof exceeds both lines. The same FAQ's general answer reads: "A permit is required for any new construction, addition, alteration, or repair with an estimated cost of labor and material greater than $7,500 or work that is structural (to include installing, removing, or repairing any wall or partition)." The state statute, Section 553.79(1)(g), Florida Statutes (effective July 1, 2026), exempts "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," but the exemption "does not apply to" work on a property "partially or entirely located in a flood hazard area" or to "Any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical, or gas work performed on property containing a single-family dwelling," and it requires "a written request for exemption to the local enforcement agency with a copy of the contract or other documentation demonstrating the nature and the value of the work to be performed." This record does not decide how the state exemption and the city's 100-square-foot roofing line apply to a small roof repair; ask the Building Inspection Division before skipping a permit. The city's building chapter (Land Development Code Chapter 3) adds no roofing exemption. Separately, the Florida Building Code, Existing Building (Section 706.1.1) limits piecemeal roof work: "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." Under Section 553.844(5), Florida Statutes, where the existing roof was built, repaired or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later and 25 percent or more is being repaired, replaced or recovered, "only the repaired, replaced, or recovered portion is required to be constructed in accordance with the Florida Building Code in effect."

Is ice & water shield required in Tallahassee, FL?

What building code does Tallahassee, FL use?

Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), Residential (2021 IRC base), effective December 31, 2023, adopted statewide by Rule 61G20-1.001, Florida Administrative Code. Tallahassee Land Development Code Sec. 3-82(a): "The Florida Building Code as adopted by rule of the Florida Building Commission as required by state statute, and as it may be amended from time to time, is hereby adopted and incorporated into this Code by reference"; Sec. 3-82(b): "Chapter 1 of the Florida Building Code shall be used for the administration of the Florida Building Code except as modified in this chapter." The city's local provisions in Land Development Code Chapter 3 (Buildings and Building Regulations) are administrative: appeals, the Building Inspection Division, permit extensions, right of entry, permit suspension, unsafe buildings, fees, electrical installations, floor elevations, certificates of completion and contractor certification. Chapter 3 contains no roofing provision, and the city's flood chapter (Chapter 6) contains none either. The city's "Applicable Codes and Required Code Summary Information" sheet (effective January 1, 2024) and its construction-codes FAQ list the Florida Building Code Building, Accessibility, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Plumbing and Existing Building volumes, 8th Edition (2023), the Florida Fire Prevention Code, 8th Edition, and the 2020 National Electrical Code; that list does not name the Residential volume, which the state rule adopts with the others. The Florida Building Commission's local-amendment registry lists no amendments for the City of Tallahassee under the 2023 code.
