Miami-Dade County is an HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) — the most stringent roofing building code jurisdiction in the US. All roofing products must carry a Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) or Florida Product Approval. Installation methods, fastener patterns, and underlayment are all code-mandated at a higher standard than the rest of FL. Insurance companies require HVHZ compliance for coverage. Only licensed CCC contractors with HVHZ experience should work on Miami-Dade roofs.
