A Davie roof permit starts with a hurricane-zone package
The Town of Davie Building Division's roofing checklist asks for a completed High-Velocity Hurricane Zone roofing package, product approvals (NOAs) for the materials being installed, and an affidavit identifying any equipment mounted on the roof. Tile set with adhesive needs an uplift test at the job site. Ask a contractor to walk you through what they will submit.
Barns and farm buildings follow different rules
Under Florida law, a nonresidential farm building such as a barn, greenhouse or storage building on land used for bona fide agricultural purposes is generally exempt from the Florida Building Code and local building fees, though floodplain rules still apply. The exemption does not cover a home. If you are roofing both, ask the contractor to separate the two in the quote.
Workers' compensation is part of the permit
Davie's checklist requires a workers' compensation policy covering the people working on the roof, with the Town of Davie named as certificate holder. If a subcontractor does the roofing, the town also wants that subcontractor's policy and the agreement between the two companies. Asking for these early can avoid a delayed permit.
