Roofing in Hialeah, FL
Hialeah was incorporated in 1925, the same year Hialeah Park opened, and it has its own Building Department that permits roofing work inside city limits. The city's roofing fee sheet has separate categories for low-slope, nail-on tile, mortar-set tile, shingle and metal roofs, for single-family, multifamily and commercial buildings.
The city's permit paperwork answers a lot of questions owners have before a re-roof, so it is worth knowing what it asks for.

The city wants to see your roofing contract
Hialeah's general permit requirements ask for a copy of the contract between the owner and the contractor as part of a roof permit submission, along with the product approvals for the materials. Get the scope, materials and price in writing before the permit is filed, because the city will see that document too.
Condominium roofs need the association's sign-off
For a condominium, Hialeah requires an authorization letter from the association, with the president's signature notarized, before it accepts the permit application. If you own a unit, the roof is often an association matter, so start with the board or property manager.
Hialeah ZIP codes reach into neighboring towns
Some ZIP codes with a Hialeah mailing address, such as 33014, 33016 and 33018, also cover parts of Hialeah Gardens and Miami Lakes, which are separate municipalities with their own permitting. A contractor should confirm which jurisdiction your property is actually in.
Hialeah roofing questions
Can I pull a Hialeah roofing permit myself as an owner-builder?
Hialeah allows owner-builder permits on residential property only when the owner lives at the address, and asks for a Florida driver's license showing that address. Ask the Building Department what else applies to your roof before you decide.
How many inspections does a tile re-roof get in Hialeah?
The city's roofing fee sheet lists minimum inspections for each roof type. For a nail-on tile roof it lists a tin cap, an in-progress, a tile installation and a final inspection, and inspectors may require more.
