The building stock
Farmland to condominiums
Lauderdale Lakes was incorporated on June 22, 1961, when it had about 300 residents and land used mostly for farming and grazing. It covers about four square miles around State Road 7 and Oakland Park Boulevard. Census figures put the median year built at 1976, with 49 percent of homes from the 1970s and 71 percent built before 1980. Only a quarter are single-family detached; 62 percent are in buildings of ten or more units.
The 25 percent rule can require a roof system or section to be brought to current code, but Florida Statutes section 553.844(5) makes an exception for roofs or sections compliant with the 2007 Florida Building Code or later: only the worked portion must meet current code. Check permit history before deciding the repair scope.
What the city requires
The Lauderdale Lakes roof packet
The city says re-roofing permits do not need planning and zoning review and go directly to the Building Division. Its roof and re-roof packet asks for the Broward County uniform application and roof application, two sets of product approvals, the signed contract, the asbestos statement, the rooftop equipment affidavit, the owner’s notification, the roof-to-wall affidavit where it applies and a notice of commencement over $2,500. Wednesday mornings are Professional Day, with walk-in plan review for professionals.
The roof-to-wall affidavit applies to homes insured or valued at $300,000 or more, within the 15 percent cost cap. Under the countywide rooftop equipment affidavit, rooftop equipment removed during re-roofing is reinstalled to the code in effect when the permit is issued. Painted roofs must use one of the city’s palette colors matching the building; factory-finished roofs are exempt.

Questions
Lauderdale Lakes roofing FAQ
Is Lauderdale Lakes in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone?
Yes. The Florida Building Code (section 202) defines the High Velocity Hurricane Zone as Broward and Miami-Dade counties, so every Lauderdale Lakes roof is permitted and built to HVHZ requirements. The city’s roof packet includes the HVHZ uniform permit application, with calculations submitted at application for tile roofs.
Who issues roofing permits in Lauderdale Lakes?
The Building Division of the Lauderdale Lakes Development Services Department, 3521 NW 43rd Avenue (954-535-2480), open to walk-ins Monday to Thursday. Perkins prepares and pulls the permit for the roofs we install.
Can I keep patching my roof?
It depends on roof condition and permit history. Under Florida Statutes section 553.844(5), a roof or section compliant with the 2007 Florida Building Code or later is exempt from the whole-roof requirement: only the worked portion must meet current code. Older roofs may still trigger the 25 percent rule.
Can I paint my roof a new color?
Factory-finished shingle, tile and aggregate roofs are not covered by the color rules. A painted roof must use one of the city’s base or accent colors and match a color used on the building, and exterior painting needs a permit first.
Which Perkins office serves Lauderdale Lakes?
The Miami office, 305-642-7663, which covers Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties. Perkins does not have a separate Lauderdale Lakes office.
