The short answer
Search the NOA number on Miami-Dade's Product Control site or the FL number on floridabuilding.org, open the approval, then check four things: your exact product and plant are listed, the expiration date has not passed, a listed system matches your deck and roof covering, and the limitations allow your roof. Broward permits ask for those pages.
How do you look up a roofing NOA or FL approval?
Find the approval number
Look on the product data sheet, sell sheet or roll label, or ask your roofer for it. Some data sheets only say "Miami-Dade County approved" without a number, so you may have to search by manufacturer. A Miami-Dade label reads "Miami-Dade County Product Control Approved".
Search the right database
NOA numbers such as 25-0121.12 go into Miami-Dade's Product Control search as the file number. FL numbers such as FL5259 go into Florida Building Code Online with the 2023 code version selected.
Check the approval and expiration dates
The NOAs reviewed here print the NOA number, approval date and expiration date at the foot of every page. The cover page says the NOA is not valid after the expiration date and names the earlier NOA it revises.
Find your exact product and plant
Read the product description table. A brand name is not enough: the table lists each product, its size, test standard and manufacturing locations, and some systems apply only to product from one plant.
Match a system and read the limitations
Find a system for your deck type and roof covering, then read the specific and general limitations. A note such as "Tile Roofing is not an approved roof covering for use with this assembly" rules that system out for a tile roof.
The two searches are the Miami-Dade Product Control search (opens in a new tab) and the Florida Building Code Online product approval search (opens in a new tab). Each opens the full approval document as a PDF or web page you can save for your records.
What is the difference between an NOA and a Florida Product Approval?
Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA)
Issued by Miami-Dade County's Product Control Section for use in Miami-Dade County and other areas where the local building authority allows it. Numbers look like 25-0121.12. The roofing NOAs reviewed here state the product is designed to comply with the Florida Building Code, including the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Florida Product Approval (FL number)
Issued through the state's product approval system and tied to a code version, currently the 2023 Florida Building Code. Numbers look like FL5259-R50, where R50 is the revision. One FL number can carry separate HVHZ and non-HVHZ entries, as FL5259.1 and FL5259.2 (opens in a new tab) do.
In Broward, the City of Hollywood's roofing checklist accepts either a current Miami-Dade NOA or a Florida Product Approval for the product. For tile underlayment, Miami-Dade's 2023 code-change presentation (opens in a new tab) says NOAs will be required for all tile underlayments other than 30/90.
What are the NOA numbers for the products M&M installs?
M&M read each approval below on Miami-Dade's or Florida's site for its product reviews. Expiration dates are the ones printed on the NOA; check again before a permit is filed, since approvals are revised.
| Product | Miami-Dade NOA | NOA expires | Florida approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polystick TU MAX (tile underlayment) | 25-0121.12 | September 13, 2027 | FL5259-R50 |
| Polystick MTS Plus (metal underlayment) | 25-0121.12 | September 13, 2027 | FL5259-R50 |
| Polystick XFR (fire-resistant metal underlayment) | 25-0121.12 | September 13, 2027 | FL5259-R50 |
| Polystick IR-Xe (shingle underlayment) | 25-0121.12 | September 13, 2027 | FL5259-R50 |
| TAMKO Titan XT (asphalt shingle) | 26-0331.03 | December 1, 2030 | FL 18355, FL 35321 |
| Westlake Barcelona 900 (concrete tile, Lake Wales) | 24-1008.13 | April 26, 2027 | Not reviewed here |
| Westlake Saxony 900 Slate (concrete tile, Lake Wales) | 24-1008.12 | April 26, 2027 | Not reviewed here |
| Westlake Villa 900 (concrete tile, Lake Wales) | 26-0602.02 | September 21, 2031 | Not reviewed here |
| APOC Polyset AH-160 (tile foam adhesive) | 23-0614.01 | May 10, 2027 | Not reviewed here |
One NOA can cover many products. The Polyglass NOA 25-0121.12 (opens in a new tab) covers all four Polystick underlayments in this table, which is why its number shows up on pages for tile, metal and shingle roofs. Our Polystick underlayment comparison shows which roof covering each one is listed for, and the Westlake tile comparison lines up the three tile NOAs.
Which approval pages does a Broward roofing permit ask for?
Hollywood's roofing checklist (opens in a new tab) (updated August 20, 2024) is a useful Broward example. It asks for the Broward County Uniform Permit Application, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone Uniform Permit Application, and a current Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the product with all elements identified, along with fire directory listing pages (FBC 1512.3.4, 1516). The HVHZ application, FBC 8th Edition (2023) Section 1525, lists these attachments:
- Fire directory listing page
- From the product approval: front page, specific system description, specific system limitations, general limitations and applicable detail drawings
- Design calculations per Chapter 16, or RAS 127 or RAS 128 where they apply
- Approvals for the other components
- The municipal permit application
- Owner's notification for roofing considerations (reroofing only)
- Any required roof testing or calculation documents
A licensed roofing contractor or a qualifying owner-builder signs the application. If you are weighing doing it yourself, read can you reroof your own house in Florida? first, and check any roofer's license with our Florida roofer license and insurance checklist.
What doesn't an NOA tell you?
- The fire rating. The roofing NOAs reviewed here say fire classification is not part of the acceptance. The fire directory listing is a separate page in the permit file.
- Your roof's wind design. Underlayment NOAs list underlayment uplift values for analysis only; the roof system's own approval and the design calculation set the roof's design pressure.
- The warranty. An NOA is a code acceptance. The NOA says misuse of it as an endorsement for sales or advertising terminates it.
- The insurance credit. Wind-mitigation credits come from a qualified inspector's report and the insurer, not from the NOA.
- A permit by itself. TAMKO's NOA 26-0331.03 (opens in a new tab) says it cannot be used on its own to obtain a building permit.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Miami-Dade NOA?
A Notice of Acceptance is Miami-Dade County Product Control's written acceptance of a construction product, issued for use in Miami-Dade County and other areas where the local building authority allows it. Roofing NOAs say the product is designed to comply with the Florida Building Code, including the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Broward and Miami-Dade.
What is the difference between an NOA and a Florida Product Approval?
An NOA comes from Miami-Dade County's Product Control Section. A Florida Product Approval, the FL number, comes from the state's product approval system on floridabuilding.org and is tied to a code version. A state approval can have separate HVHZ and non-HVHZ entries; Polyglass's FL5259-R50, for example, splits into FL5259.1 for HVHZ and FL5259.2 for everywhere else.
Does a Broward roofing permit need an NOA?
Broward permits ask for the product approval pages. Hollywood's roofing checklist, for example, asks for a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval for the product with all elements identified, plus fire directory listing pages. Ask the building department for your city which approval documents it accepts.
What does the NOA number mean?
It is the file number Miami-Dade Product Control uses to find the approval, such as 25-0121.12 for Polyglass Polystick underlayments. When a product's approval is revised, the new NOA gets its own number and names the one it revises: 25-0121.12 revises 24-1022.13, and TAMKO's 26-0331.03 revises 25-1114.01.
What happens when an NOA expires?
The cover page says the NOA is not valid after the expiration date, and that renewal is considered after the manufacturer files a renewal application. Revised approvals carry new numbers, so search the product again before your permit is submitted and use the current document.
Does an NOA cover fire rating or warranty?
No. The roofing NOAs reviewed here say fire classification is not part of the acceptance, so the fire rating comes from a separate directory listing. An NOA is not a warranty either, and the NOA itself says misuse of it as an endorsement terminates it. TAMKO's NOA adds that it cannot be used on its own to obtain a building permit.
Does tile underlayment need an NOA in Miami-Dade?
Miami-Dade's presentation on the 2023 Florida Building Code roofing changes says NOAs will be required for all tile underlayments other than 30/90, and that tile underlayment must be tested to TAS 103 and TAS 104 unless a roofing application standard lists it otherwise.
