The building stock
A village of houses beside the Deering Estate
The Village of Palmetto Bay incorporated in 2002; the neighboring community of Perrine had incorporated in 1948 and disincorporated the next year. The village is home to the Deering Estate on Biscayne Bay. Census figures put the median year built at 1976, with 64 percent of homes built before 1980, including 22 percent in the 1960s and 31 percent in the 1970s. Seventy-nine percent are single-family detached houses and 78 percent are owner-occupied.
The village says it is susceptible to flooding from major rain and storm surge, with runoff draining to the C-100 Cutler Drain Canal, and FEMA rates it class 5 in the Community Rating System, a 25 percent flood-insurance discount.
What the village requires
The Palmetto Bay roof permit
Contractors register on the village’s Citizen Portal before applying, and residential review takes up to 10 working days. The village roof package includes the FBC 8th Edition (2023) HVHZ uniform roofing application with a separate metal roof panel form, product approval pages and design calculations, the owner’s notification for roofing considerations, a notarized sheathing affidavit under section 553.844, the owner’s roof-to-wall exemption affidavit, a balanced attic ventilation calculation and a combustion flue vent certification. The village asks for a notice of commencement on jobs over $5,000.
In the Old Cutler neighborhood commercial district, new development and substantial improvements follow a Florida Coastal Vernacular style: metal, dimensional shingle or a manufactured wood-shake equivalent, on hip or gable roofs pitched between 3:12 and 5:12 with at least a 6-inch overhang.
