What a roof permit tells you.
Covers all 67 Florida counties.
One permit date answers several questions an insurer, buyer or roofer will ask about the house.
Roof age
The newest re-roof permit dates the roof that sits on the house now.
Carrier review
Insurers weigh age first. Shingle roofs start drawing scrutiny in their mid-teens.
Inspection requests
Past about 15 years, most Florida carriers want a 4-point inspection on file before writing or renewing the policy.
A missing permit
Without a county replacement permit, insurers usually count the roof as the same age as the house.
When the record has no permit.
No re-roof permit at the address? The report then works out the age from the build year and assessor data.
That number carries an estimate label beside it, and a permit-backed age carries none.
Planning a new roof? The new permit becomes the date insurers read next, and a replacement quote goes through the estimator to partner Florida roofers.
- Permit-backed. Dated from the re-roof permit itself, which an insurer can verify.
- Estimated. Shown with a label, built from records other than a permit.

Common questions.
Type the address into the lookup at the top of this page. The report shows the roof age and says whether it comes from a re-roof permit on file or from an estimate, along with the material, flood zone and storm history. It works for any address in the 67 Florida counties, free and without an account.
The installed-cost ranges on this site count the permit and inspection as part of a re-roof, alongside labor, materials and tear-off. The permit also leaves the dated record that insurers check when you apply or renew. Ask your roofer to confirm the permit is pulled before the old roof comes off.
Insurers usually treat a roof with no county replacement permit as old as the house itself. For an older home, that can push the policy toward Citizens or toward coverage that depends on a wind mitigation form. The report marks these ages as estimates, worked out from the build year and assessor data.
Florida carriers look at roof age before condition or material, and a recent permit puts a young date on the record. Shingle roofs get a harder look once they reach their mid-teens, and fewer private carriers will write them near 20 years. A permit-backed date answers the age question before the underwriter asks it.
Yes. The estimator finds the roof from your address, measures it from aerial imagery and gives an installed-cost budget range. When you want firm numbers, the quote request goes through it to partner Florida roofers, with no signup needed to start.
