Roofing in Plantation
Plantation's Building Safety pages say a permit is required before construction, enlargement, alteration or repair of any building or part of one (FBC 105.1). They don't print a roofing fee; permit fees are set by the Building Permit Fee Ordinance, Chapter 5, Article II of the City Code, and based on the estimated value of the job. The printed processing fee is $20 for the application and $10 per page of plans, first page free.
Card payments carry a 2.65 percent surcharge with a $1 minimum. A contractor registered with the city must apply, or the owner of a single-family dwelling doing the work personally applies as owner/builder with an affidavit, after meeting the plan reviewer. Permits are valid 180 days from issue or 90 days after the last approved inspection. Because Plantation is in Broward County, its roofs are permitted to High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards.
The Department of Building Safety, 401 NW 70th Terrace, 1st Floor, takes calls at 954-797-2765, and applications run through the Accela Citizen Access portal.

All construction in Plantation's special flood hazard area needs a building or engineering permit from the city; the Engineering Department is at 954-797-2282.
