Orange County separates the product specification sheet submitted for review from approved installation details that must be available at the jobsite. Not uploading those details does not excuse their absence at inspection. The County expressly warns that missing jobsite installation details will cause a failed inspection. Residential alteration instructions
For a roof project, do not stop at one folder labeled “roof approval.” The County’s two-page specification sheet has separate rows for roofing products, including underlayment. A covering’s paperwork should not silently stand in for a different component.
Make the paperwork match the installed component
The form asks for manufacturer and model/series information and the applicable approval identifier. A Florida approval number must include its decimal suffix; the Miami-Dade alternative has a separate expiration field. Its sample skylight entries illustrate the form—they are not recommended products or evidence that an approval is currently valid. Specification sheet, page 1
Use this LSL cross-check before assembling the inspection folder. It is an optional organization aid, not an additional County submission requirement.
| Match to make | Record the answer | Stop and resolve this mismatch |
|---|---|---|
| Physical component → product | Roof covering, underlayment or other component; manufacturer and exact model | The delivered model differs from the one in the paperwork |
| Product → approval | Complete approval identifier, including suffix where applicable; relevant NOA expiration | The file names a different model or only a product family |
| Approval → installation document | File name and relevant detail/page for that component | Only a sales brochure or approval search screenshot is available |
| Installation document → project | Where the component is used and which approved plan/detail it belongs with | The selected detail does not match the proposed assembly; ask the responsible professional/reviewer |
| Document → jobsite access | Where the inspection copy will be kept and who will make it available | The only copy is with someone who will not be available |
Repeat the check for each applicable component rather than copying one identifier across the roof system. LSL is not selecting fastening, wind-pressure or assembly details: those are technical design and compliance questions, not clerical matches.
What is optional at upload and required onsite
The alteration page says applicants no longer need to submit the listed products’ approved installation details and screenshots for plan review. It also offers an option: submit them with the application so they can be stamped with the approved plan set. Either way, the jobsite requirement remains.
That distinction produces two practical paths:
- Details included in the approved set: identify the relevant stamped pages and make that set available for inspection.
- Details not included: obtain the applicable approved installation documents and organize them with the project records before the inspection.
A completed specification sheet is an index, not the installation document itself. Likewise, possessing the document does not establish that the work was installed correctly. Page 2 of the County form assigns the applicant responsibility for checking product limitations and design pressures and says compliance will be verified in the field.
Document age and review scope
LSL checked the live alteration page and read both pages of its linked specification sheet in text and native layout on September 20, 2026. The form footer says Revised 4/2021. That is a document revision, not a declaration of the code edition governing a new permit. Confirm the applicable edition and current form with the project reviewer.
This review is limited to the document-handling question answered by those two sources. LSL did not verify any actual product approval, inspect a roof or evaluate installation compliance.
