Broward and Miami-Dade counties make up Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). Roofing work there is held to stricter standards than in the rest of the state.
What HVHZ Means for Roofs
- Roofing products must have Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) product approval.
- Installation must follow the approved system details, including fastening and wind uplift requirements.
- Permits and inspections are required, and the work must be done by a properly licensed contractor.
Why It Matters for Commercial Owners
Using a non-approved product or a shortcut in installation can lead to failed inspections, insurance problems and costly rework. Always confirm that your contractor is experienced with HVHZ work before signing.
Requirements change, so confirm current rules with your local building department. Our team works with these requirements daily; see our Broward County roofing and Miami-Dade County roofing pages.
