Winter Park’s roof affidavit must be available at roof final inspection. It is signed by the licensed contractor of record, who attests to personal inspection of the deck nailing, secondary water barrier and required roofing components, and to a match with the products submitted on the City’s cover sheet. It is not a homeowner’s substitute for an inspection result. Roof affidavit, revised May 31, 2023
Match the affidavit to the actual product entry
The Product Approval Cover Sheet records product type, manufacturer, model/series and Florida approval or Miami-Dade NOA number. Its second page has the roofing rows. A brand name alone does not fill all those fields.
LSL’s product-match check compares three records:
| Record | What to reconcile |
|---|---|
| Submitted cover sheet | Exact manufacturer, model/series and approval identifier for the roofing entry |
| Contractor’s installed-product documentation | Whether it identifies the same product, and explains any difference |
| Signed affidavit | Correct permit, job address and contractor; no unresolved product substitution hidden by a general signature |
If the materials changed, ask the contractor and Building staff how to correct the permit documents before relying on the affidavit. This check does not determine whether a different product is technically interchangeable or suitable for the roof.
Keep the onsite documents together
The cover sheet asks for its copy, manufacturer details and the product-approval record showing the code edition at inspections. Its asphalt-shingle note distinguishes documents not required at the office from instructions still required onsite. Do not interpret “not submitted” as “not needed.” Cover sheet, both pages
Keep the contractor’s signed, notarized affidavit with that documentation. The City’s current forms directory links the document under roof dry-in affidavits, but the form itself explicitly says it is provided at final. Use the document’s actual instruction, not the directory label alone.
Confirm which roofing inspection is being requested
The City index distinguishes residential dry-in/roof deck (800), residential roof final (803) and commercial roof final (804). Confirm the applicable appointment against the permit; a completed affidavit does not book it or prove that the result passed.
LSL checked the current directory, index, complete affidavit and both cover-sheet pages on September 20, 2026, including native form/table layout. The comparison preserves the original guide’s useful product-matching idea while replacing generic five-stage prose. No roof visit, concealed-work inspection, product approval determination or private permit verification was performed.
