Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Washington County?

Yes, you must obtain a building permit from the Washington County Building Department before starting any roof replacement. Your contractor will typically handle the permit application, which requires submitting product approvals to show the materials meet local wind load standards of 120 or 130 miles per hour.

What wind speed must a new roof withstand in Washington County?

The Florida Building Code requires roofs in northern Washington County, including Chipley, to withstand winds up to 120 miles per hour. In the southern half of the county, around Vernon and Wausau, the requirement increases to 130 miles per hour.

What is the Notice of Commencement rule for Florida roofing?

Under Florida law, you must record a Notice of Commencement with the Clerk of Court for any roofing project costing 2,500 dollars or more. This document must be signed, notarized, and filed before your contractor begins work to protect you from potential subcontractor liens.

How does the 15-year insurance roof rule affect me?

Florida Senate Bill 2-D prevents home insurance companies from refusing to write or renew policies solely due to roof age if the roof is under 15 years old. If your roof is older, you may need a professional inspection to prove it has at least five years of remaining life.

Can a roofer offer to pay my insurance deductible in Washington County?

No, it is illegal under Florida law for any roofing contractor to offer to pay, waive, or rebate your insurance deductible. Doing so is a third-degree felony, and any roofer making this offer is exposing you to serious legal risks.
