Florida’s 25 percent roof rule
Ask the roofer in writing which part of your roof gets replaced and whether the 25 percent rule turns a repair into a new roof.
| Rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| 25 percent rule | If more than a quarter of a roof is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the Florida Building Code has the whole roof brought up to today’s code. If the roof was built to the 2007 code or later, only the part being fixed must meet it (s. 553.844). |
| Roof age | An insurer may not refuse or drop a policy only because the roof is under 15 years old. An older roof gets an inspection first and 5 or more years of life left keeps the policy (s. 627.7011). |
| Claim deadline | A claim must reach the insurer within 1 year of the storm and a supplemental claim within 18 months (s. 627.70132). |
| Gifts and deductibles | A roofer may not offer cash, a gift or a deductible waiver for a roof inspection or a claim (s. 489.147). |
Wind mitigation and your insurance
Florida insurers must give discounts for features that stand up to wind, such as roof strength, the roof covering and roof-to-wall strength (s. 627.0629). After a new roof, a wind mitigation inspection records them so your insurer can apply the credit.
