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

Asphalt shingles age fastest in Florida sun. Look for curling, granule loss, and lifted tabs along ridges and edges.

03

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

Questions about 540 Palmetto Ave

County permit records show the roof was last permitted in 2007, about 19 years ago (shingle). A permit-dated replacement is the most reliable roof age short of an on-site inspection.

The score weighs roof age against the typical service life of its material, then adjusts for storm exposure. Moderate reflects a mid-life roof worth keeping an eye on. 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.
