Repair
Florida City’s median home was built in 1990, and a quarter of its homes date from the 2000s. We repair where repair is right and put the reason in writing when a roof is due instead.

The building stock
Palm Drive and the homes around it
Florida City was settled in 1910 and incorporated in 1914; the Model Land Company bought 22,000 acres here in 1913, and 156 royal palms were planted along Palm Drive in 1922. Census figures put the median year built at 1990, with 70 percent of homes built in 1980 or later and 23 percent in the 2000s. Forty percent are single-family detached, 15 percent townhouses and 22 percent in buildings of ten or more units.
With that mix, the roofs range from houses and townhouses to low-slope apartment and commercial roofs, and a roof from the 1980s or 1990s has had thirty years or more of South Florida sun.
What the city requires
The Florida City roof permit
Florida City’s Building Services Department made its eTRAKiT portal mandatory for all new applications on January 1, 2026. The city’s roofing permit application is notarized by owner and qualifier, and the city will not accept it without two copies of the roofing appendix and two copies of the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The packet includes the HVHZ uniform roofing application, the owner’s notification for roofing considerations and, for commercial buildings, a reroofing statement for existing buildings.
The city requires a recorded notice of commencement for larger jobs, and city code prohibits operating construction equipment between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m.
