Roofing in Melbourne
Melbourne's Building Permit Fees schedule, effective August 7, 2026, has no separate reroof row. A reroof is one of the permits priced by the estimated-cost table, which starts at $65.00 for a job of $1,000 and less and adds $6.50 per additional $1,000 up to $50,000. When a permit covers multiple trades, the schedule adds $35 per trade review. According to the Building Section page, the code's Eighth Edition (2023) took effect January 1, 2024.
An application that's filed earlier follows the code in effect on its filing date. Filing happens in the EnerGov online portal, with drawings, proof of ownership and an estimated value, and a notarized Owner/Builder Affidavit goes with any owner/builder permit. Melbourne's Building Section is on City Hall's Second Floor, 900 East Strawbridge Avenue, 321-608-7900, open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. After a declared emergency, the post-storm guide puts reroofs on the permit list.
Tarps and debris removal need none. Permit fees stay at the adopted schedule, with no increase for 180 days, and Substantial Damage letters are requested by email to bldplanreview@mlbfl.org. Brevard County has no High-Velocity Hurricane Zone area, and the median Melbourne home dates to 1985 (ACS 2020-2024). The estimated cost you put on the application is what prices a Melbourne reroof.
