Florida storm activity in 2026
From March 1 through November 3, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 13 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger within 50 miles of the Florida cities we track. The largest stone near a tracked city was 2.00 inches (Fairhope, Baldwin Co., AL, May 7, 2026).[3] Reports can overlap between nearby cities and are not a damage survey.
Common roofs and code notes in Florida
Asphalt shingles, concrete tile, and metal are all common. Florida uses the statewide Florida Building Code, with stricter High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, so nail patterns, secondary water barriers, and edge metal matter. Permits come from your city or county building department.
Florida rules homeowners should know
The "25% rule" and its 2022 exception
Under Florida law, if your existing roof or roof section was built, repaired, or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the portion being repaired must meet the current code, even when 25% or more of that roof or section is being worked on. [4]
Claim deadlines
A new or reopened property-insurance claim is barred unless notice is given within 1 year of the date of loss, and a supplemental claim within 18 months. For windstorms and other weather events, the date of loss is the date NOAA verifies the event (or, for hurricanes, landfall). [5]
Roof age and your policy
An insurer may not refuse to issue or renew a homeowners policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old. For roofs 15 or more years old, the insurer must allow an inspection by an authorized inspector (at the homeowner's expense), and may not refuse solely due to age if the inspection shows 5+ years of useful life remaining.
