More Florida cities and counties are added as their records become available.
A full re-roof in Florida needs a building permit, and permits are public records. We search the permit records of the city or county for your address and show the most recent roof replacement (or the year the house was built, when that is the newest record). The roof age is the time since that permit was issued.
Under section 627.7011(5), Florida Statutes, an insurer may not refuse to write or renew a homeowners policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old. For roofs 15 years or older, the homeowner can have an authorized inspector certify that the roof has at least 5 years of useful life left. Insurers can still use other underwriting rules, so always confirm with your carrier.
Not necessarily. The roof may be older than the records we have for that area, the permit may be filed under a slightly different address (try with or without the unit, or the street suffix), the work may have been done without a permit, or the property may be in a different city. Each area page shows when its records start.

No. We only show the permit: date, type, description, permit number and the contractor company when the city publishes it. We never show owner names or personal contact details.
