Permits, power and roofs in Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay has run its own building department since incorporating in 2002, so permit history for older work often sits with Miami-Dade County instead. FPL serves the village. The housing is mostly single-story concrete block ranches from the 1950s through the 1980s on lots large enough for pools, screen enclosures and additions, with barrel or flat tile on most roofs. Andrew destroyed or badly damaged many of these houses, and the rebuilds followed the tougher code that came after it. East of Old Cutler Road, toward the Deering Estate and the bay, lots sit lower and carry storm surge risk along with salt. Oaks, mahogany and royal palms over these lots drop debris onto arrays and shade them a little more each year. Each mount needs a Miami-Dade approval on file.
Along Old Cutler Road and the streets toward the Deering Estate, big lots with tall trees mean shade has crept over arrays since they were installed. In the former Cutler and Rockdale areas, post-Andrew ranches with tile roofs are being re-roofed again, and arrays on them come off first. Owners with pool heating panels on the same roof often need both systems handled, and both can come down and go back in the same job.

FAQ
Palmetto Bay: questions homeowners ask
Do you remove and reinstall solar panels in Palmetto Bay?
Yes, every week. Palmetto Bay is on our Orlando to Miami route, so it is normal scheduling with no travel charge, and the reinstall is lined up with your roofer's tear-off date.
Who can pull the permit to reinstall solar in Palmetto Bay?
Only a licensed solar or electrical contractor. Palmetto Bay is inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every attachment needs documented product approval and the reinstall is inspected before the system comes back on.
Who reconnects the system in Palmetto Bay?
Homes in Palmetto Bay are generally served by FPL. When an array goes back on after a roof job the utility usually needs to know, and the building department normally inspects the reinstall before the system is switched back on.
Does salt air change the job in Palmetto Bay?
It changes what fails first. Salt attacks rails, clamps and grounding hardware long before it hurts a panel, so near the water every fastener gets checked and anything corroded is replaced rather than reused.
