What to do next.

Generated from this property's records: age against typical service life, code era, and the risk overlays.

01

This roof is past the ~15-year Florida insurability threshold. Expect a 4-point inspection at renewal and start planning a replacement window.

02

In a high wind-speed zone, documented wind-mitigation features (roof-to-wall straps, secondary water barrier) can materially improve insurability.

03

This address has weathered 14 named hurricanes on record, most recently in 2024. Photograph the roof now so you have a pre-storm baseline for any future claim.

04

Hail up to 3 inches has been recorded nearby. After any hailstorm, have the roof inspected promptly; hail claims have tight filing windows.

Questions about 5730 SW 12 St

No roofing permit is on county record, so the roof age is estimated at about 97 years from the year built (1929). It is labeled an estimate throughout this report.

FEMA maps this address in flood zone X, outside the high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area.

Likely at some point. Florida carriers commonly order a 4-point on older homes (this one dates to 1929) or roofs past about 15 years.

The score weighs roof age against the typical service life of its material, then adjusts for storm exposure. Weak reflects a roof at or past its typical service life, where insurers scrutinize hardest. Only permit-backed roof ages count as high-confidence.

No. It is a records-based assessment from public data: county permits, assessor records, FEMA flood maps, and wind-zone data. Use it as a starting point, not a substitute for a licensed inspection.

Methodology

How this report is built.

This report is a records-based estimate assembled from county permits, assessor data, FEMA flood maps, and wind-zone datasets. The roof score weighs age, material, and storm exposure; only permit-backed roof ages are high-confidence. It is not an inspection, appraisal, or insurance quote.
