- Permits go through Coral Gables Development Services. Roof applications need a roof plan, elevations, color photos of the existing roof and front of the house, material and color specs, and NOAs.
- Re-roofs may require City Architect / Board of Architects approval, and historic properties need historical review; the city's same-day permit program does not apply to historic properties.
- Waterfront homes in Cocoplum and Gables Estates face salt air and open-water wind exposure.
- We help you choose a tile and color likely to pass design review before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a roof permit in Coral Gables more involved?
The city reviews roof design, not just code compliance. Applications include photos, material and color specs, and may go to the Board of Architects or historic review.
Can I switch from barrel tile to another material in Coral Gables?
Possibly, but material changes are reviewed by the city. We'll check what's likely to be approved for your property before you decide.
