St Lucie County Building Department is no longer accepting roof sheathing affidavits.
This process has proven to be inaccurate and ineffective. During the process of
construction, alteration, re-roof, etc.,..a sheathing nailing inspection is required to be
performed by the Building Department.
This inspection may be performed by an inspector on site or it may be done using the
virtual inspection process. This inspection is considered to be an in-progress type of
inspection and should be performed while the work is underway.
Contractors are encouraged to call the inspector on the day of the inspection to
schedule times for your inspection. While it is not anticipated the entire roof will be
accessible for the inspection in the case of a re-roof, the majority of the sheathing is
expected to be viewed, whether in person or virtually. To use the virtual option, please
have access to the permit, the ability to show the address and a tape measure to
indicate fastener spacing.
In place of the roofing affidavit is a new roofing permit attachment that is intended to
help you, the owner, the plan reviewer and the inspector. All information related to the
roof needs to be put on this document and submitted as a part of the permit package,
along with specification and product approval (NOA) documentation. Both the permit
-application and the roof information sheet can be found on the St Lucie County Building
Department forms page of the St Lucie County website. The following documents can
be found on the St Lucie County website:

772-462-1553 and we thank you for your cooperation.
