Flagged source reviewed 2026-10-16. How we check sources
Roof replacement in the County BDRS service area uses the residential roof permit path and includes inspection requirements. Pinellas publishes specific roofing inspection policies and a re-roofing mitigation affidavit for covered hurricane-mitigation work. The residential-permits page says a dedicated webpage will outline revised permit exemption criteria; it does not specify those criteria on that page. When solar and reroofing occur together, coordinate the scopes and inspections rather than treating one as invisible to the other.
