Declared cost on the permit application is not the contract price. It is what the applicant wrote on the form. It can sit below the signed contract, and permits do not say how big the roof was. Read it as the spread of real jobs, not as a quote.

  • The extract starts October 7, 2024: 2024 (1,342 permits) is a part-year.
  • Miami-Dade County is a county portal, not one city's limits.
  • The county portal holds far fewer permits for recent months than for earlier ones, so a month chart would show a gap in the portal, not a season. 2026 so far holds 278 permits against 4,255 in 2025. Treat the figures here as a snapshot of what the portal holds.

Year by year, 2024 to 2026

Each bar runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile of declared cost. The dark tick is the median. The grey band is our guide range, the national base, because we have no city index for Miami-Dade County.

4,255 permits passed our filters. The median declared value was $23,000, and half of the permits declared $14,850 to $32,998.

Not necessarily. The value is the cost the applicant declared on the permit application. It can differ from the signed contract, and it is not an invoice. Use it to see the spread of real jobs, and get written quotes for your own roof.

The 2025 median of $23,000 sits above our guide range of $7,000 to $15,500. Ours is a modelled price for a 2,000 sq ft asphalt roof; the permit figure is what applicants declared on real jobs, where roof size, material and bundled work are not recorded.

Where does the data come from?

From the city's open-data portal, miamidade_permit_data (services.arcgis.com, dataset miamidade_permit_data), retrieved October 9, 2026. We keep permits with a re-roof description, drop repairs, solar, additions and new builds, keep declared values between $1,000 and $150,000, and count each permit number once.

Why are some years missing?

We publish a year only when it has at least 30 permits after filtering, and the current year is marked as partial until the portal has data past mid-December.
