Florida Roofing Permit Guide

A Florida roof replacement is permitted work. Understanding how the permit works protects you from the most common way homeowners get exposed on a roofing job.

Who should pull the permit

The licensed contractor performing the work. If a contractor asks you to pull an owner-builder permit for a full re-roof, they are shifting liability, code responsibility and warranty exposure onto you — and it usually means there is a licensing problem.

Product approval
