Roof age by address.
Type a Florida address and get the roof’s age instantly, pulled from county permit records.
What your roof age means.
Typical Florida lifespan
Asphalt-shingle roofs in Florida’s sun and storms typically last ~15-20 years; tile and metal run longer. Age is the single biggest driver of what comes next.
The 4-point trigger
Once a roof passes ~15 years, most Florida carriers require a 4-point inspection before they’ll write or renew, and roof age is the line item they weigh first.
Coverage impact
An older roof can narrow your options toward Citizens or a wind-mitigation-dependent policy. Knowing the age early tells you where you stand, qualitatively, before you shop.
Public records, not guesswork.
Free, no signup, and we don’t sell your data. Full methodology
We match it to the county property record for your parcel.
The most recent roofing permit dates your roof, the high-confidence anchor.
No permit on file? We estimate from the year built and assessor records, labeled as an estimate.
Seconds, start to finish.
This is the whole flow: type an address, read the roof age. Recorded from the tool running on real directory properties; the sample chips above run the real thing.
Florida counties publish building-permit records. The most recent roofing permit is the date your roof was last replaced, a permit-backed, high-confidence age. When no roofing permit exists, we fall back to the year the home was built and flag it as an estimate.
Florida insurers and the 4-point inspection use roof age as a primary factor. Many carriers stop writing or renewing coverage once an asphalt-shingle roof passes roughly 15 years, regardless of visible condition.
No. This is a records-based estimate from public data and permits, instant and free. It’s a starting point, not a substitute for a licensed 4-point or wind-mitigation inspection.
Not at launch. The roof age here comes from public records and permits only. Imagery-based condition analysis is planned for a later release.
Florida is rolling out metro by metro. If your address isn’t in the current set, you can save it and we’ll notify you when its full property report is ready.
Yes. Roof age comes from public building-permit and assessor records, so you can check any Florida address, including a home you’re buying or comparing.
