Home My WebLink AboutOWNERS NOTIFICATION REQUIREDMIAMI-DADE COUNTY REQUIRED OWNERS NOTIFICATION FOR ROOFING CONSIDERATIONS It is the responsibility of the rooﬁng contractor to provide the owner with the required rooﬁng permit, and to ex- plain to the owner the content of this form. The owner’s initials in the designated space indicates that the item has been explained. ❏ 1. Aesthetics-workmanship: The workmanship provisions of Chapter 15 (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) are for the purpose of providing that the rooﬁng system meets the wind resistance and water intrusion perfor- mance standards. Aesthetics (appearance) are not a consideration with respect to workmanship provisions. Aesthetic issues such as color or architectural appearance, that are not part of a zoning code, should be addressed as part of the agreement between the owner and the contractor. ❏ 2. Renailing wood decks: When replacing rooﬁng, the existing wood roof deck may have to be renailed in accordance with the current provisions of Chapter 16 (High Velocity Hurricane Zones) of the Florida Building Code. (The roof deck is usually concealed prior to removing the existing roof system). ❏ 3. Common roofs: Common roofs are those which have no visible delineation between neighboring units (i.e. townhouses, condominiums, etc.). In buildings with common roofs, the rooﬁng contractor and/or owner should notify the occupants of adjacent units of rooﬁng work to be performed. ❏ 4. Exposed ceilings: Exposed, open beam ceilings are where the underside of the roof decking can be viewed from below. The owner may wish to maintain the architectural appearance; therefore, rooﬁng nail penetrations of the underside of the decking may not be acceptable. The owner provides the option of maintaining this appearance. ❏ 5. Ponding water: The current roof system and/or deck of the building may not drain well and may cause wa- ter to pond (accumulate) in low-lying areas of the roof. Ponding can be an indication of structural distress and may require the review of a professional structural engineer. Ponding may shorten the life expectancy and performance of the new rooﬁng system. Ponding conditions may not be evident until the original rooﬁng system is removed. Ponding conditions should be corrected. ❏ 6. Overﬂow scuppers (wall outlets): It is required that rainwater ﬂow off so that the roof is not overloaded from a build up of water. Perimeter/edge walls or other roof extensions may block this discharge if overﬂow scuppers (wall outlets) are not provided. It may be necessary to install overﬂow scuppers in accordance with the requirements of: Chapter 15 and 16 herein and the Florida Building Code, Plumbing. ❏ 7. Ventilation: Most roof structures should have some ability to vent natural airﬂow through the interior of the structural assembly (the building itself). The existing amount of attic ventilation shall not be reduced. ❏ 8. Existing Solar Systems: The re-installation of an existing roof mounted photovoltaic system requires a separate permit. Permit must be obtained in order to ﬁnalize the rooﬁng permit. 123_01-297 3/19 CONTRACTOR’S SIGNATURE PERMIT NUMBER PROPERTY ADDRESS STATE ZIP OWNER’S /AGEN’TS SIGNATURE DATE SS SS SS SS SS SS SS SS Steve Smith As agent 12 30 2021 Doris Gomez 8206 Winter Garden Pkwy, Fort Pierce, FL 34951
