Roofing in The Villages
The Villages is a Census-designated place that draws on permit offices in two counties, Sumter and Marion, though the Census line places it in Marion County. Which office handles your roof depends on your address, so ask the county office before you file. Sumter County's fee schedule, effective 10/1/2024, lists a residential roof replacement at $181 for metal, clay tile or concrete and $121 for shingles, rolled or built-up roofing.
Sumter's Building Services page names the 2023 Florida Building Code, Eighth Edition. Sumter's Building Services sits in The Villages Sumter County Service Center, 7375 Powell Road, Wildwood, and answers 352-689-4400 on weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Permits go online through the Cityworks portal. A permit's valid until 180 days past issue or the last approved inspection. Sumter's storm guide lists roof repairs as permit work, though like-for-like shingle patching under 100 square feet and temporary tarps may not need one, and it applies the FEMA 50% rule in flood zones.
Marion County's Building Safety, 2710 East Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, 352-438-2400, takes permits through Civic Access, and its two pages print conflicting hours. The median year of construction is 2007, by ACS 2020-2024 estimates. On the Sumter side, a shingle re-roof is the $121 row and a tile or metal one the $181 row.
