What is dated in Broward County today

As of November 3, 2026, ReroofGen holds a dated roof for 96,000+ of the 340,000+ single family homes in Broward County (28%). A roof is dated when a permit confirms a reroof, or when the build year confirms the original roof and no later roof permit exists; 139,000+ roof permit records are matched to parcels so far. The other 243,000+ homes are not dated yet. They are not counted as new roofs or as old ones.

7,500+ of the dated roofs are 20 or more years old. Because Broward County has not reached 40% of homes dated, these are lower bounds: the real number of old roofs is at least this high, and no median roof age is published for the county yet.

Roof age and permit data for Broward County today

Broward's permit landscape is real and complex: across its 31 municipalities we've identified portal families including Accela, EnerGov, Citizenserve, eTRAKiT, OpenGov/SmartGov, Click2Gov, and several others. That municipality authority inventory is complete, which is the groundwork for permit backed roof age. The automated permit roof age adapter for Broward is still stubbed, so we don't claim live permit history here yet.

What you can act on now comes from the Broward County Property Appraiser: authoritative year built, estimated value, and owner mailing addresses, plus the best available owner occupancy signal and derivable length of residence. That's enough to build targeted territory lists across the whole county, not one address at a time.

• Year built, estimated value, owner mailing address: authoritative (BCPA)
• Owner occupied: best available official signal
• Length of residence: derivable from records
• Roof cover type, mortgage signal, building sq ft: not yet verified for Broward

How roofers target aging roofs in Broward

Until county permit history is automated, use build year as an honest upper bound on roof age and layer it with owner occupancy and length of residence to prioritize neighborhoods worth a visit. The goal is the same as everywhere on the platform: send a Project Manager to 25 likely roofs, not 100 random doors, and cut the waste out of canvassing.

Pair that targeting with canvassing and route workflows so your team works one organized system instead of four or five disconnected tools. As Broward's permit roof age automation comes online, the same lists get sharper without changing how your Project Managers work.

• Filter a whole county map by build year, value, and owner occupancy
• Build canvassing routes and assign territory to Project Managers
• Work from real property signals, not guesswork

Honest coverage status and what's next

Broward's current coverage tier is research pending: the property search and countywide permit authority inventory are verified, but property truth intake and permit roof age automation are still being built. We say that plainly because permit coverage varies by jurisdiction, and a missing permit means the record isn't there, not that a roof is original.

Broward is Wave 1 precisely because the scale and opportunity are high. Property truth stays planned until a countywide BCPA bulk/GIS intake path is promoted, and permit adapters go live where official source contracts are automatable. Want Broward prioritized, or to see live permit backed roof age in action? Palm Beach already runs on it. Book a demo or see the platform.
