The building stock
Country Club Estates, seventy years on
Miami Springs was founded as Country Club Estates in 1926 by aviation pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss, with Pueblo Revival as its original theme and some Mission style. The city covers 2.9 square miles in a distinctive triangle bordered by Miami International Airport, Hialeah, Virginia Gardens and Medley. Census figures put the median year built at 1958: 90 percent of homes were built before 1980 and 39 percent in the 1950s, and 63 percent are single-family detached houses.
The city lists eighteen individually designated historic sites, among them the Glenn Hammond Curtiss estate and the Hotel Country Club at 201 Curtiss Parkway. Designated properties need a certificate of appropriateness from the Historical Preservation Board, and the city’s guidelines ask that deteriorated roof coverings be replaced with new material that matches the old in composition, size, shape, color and texture. The city also says most of Miami Springs is in or near a Special Flood Hazard Area.
The city roof code
What a Miami Springs roof may be
City code section 150-010 requires new roofs to be cement or clay tile at a pitch of at least 2½ inches per foot. Metal is allowed with a Miami-Dade product approval when the city’s planning and building departments find its color and design compatible with the neighborhood, and Florida Building Code and NOA-approved asphalt shingles are allowed. A re-roof may use the same material as the roof being replaced, or tile, qualifying metal or approved shingles; flat roofs need an 18-inch masonry parapet, with exceptions.
The city roofing checklist asks for two copies of everything: the permit application signed and notarized by owner and contractor, the HVHZ permit application form, a copy of the home’s insured value and its property-tax value, the roofing contract, the owner’s notification and complete product approvals. The packet adds a notarized sheathing affidavit, the roof decking and secondary water barrier affidavit, and the roof-to-wall exemption or compliance affidavit.

Is Miami Springs in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone?
Yes. All of Miami-Dade County is in the HVHZ. The city asks for the HVHZ roofing permit application, and every roofing product needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
Can I put a shingle or metal roof on my Miami Springs house?
Often. City code allows Florida Building Code and NOA-approved asphalt shingles, and metal with a Miami-Dade approval when the city finds its color and design compatible with the neighborhood. New roofs are otherwise cement or clay tile, and a re-roof can always match the material being replaced.
