Roof and permit answers without the county-tab chaos.
Producers should not need three municipal sites open to answer “what does public record show on this roof?” PropertyNotes brings supported Florida property and permit research into one source-linked brief — with gaps labeled, not papered over.
Why producers care
- Roof age and permit history drive eligibility conversations before bind and at renewal.
- Unpermitted or unpublished work is common — “no permit found” must stay a visible flag, not a silent pass.
- Inspection PDFs (4-point, wind mit) still need a home next to the property, not a buried email thread.
This desk research does not replace Polly, Canopy, your AMS, HailScore, or HazardHub.
What you get in the brief
Supported public property, permit, and location records where available, with source links and retrieval status. Inspection findings you upload stay with the property for review. Preparation does not submit an application or establish carrier acceptance.
Address verification identifies a location; it does not guarantee every permit or insurance detail is published. See capabilities and carrier coverage for the current boundaries.
From one lookup to a watched book
One-shot research is table stakes. The desk advantage is keeping renewals and optional Client alerts beside the same properties — so the next permit activity is not only discovered when someone remembers to re-check the portal.

- Can PropertyNotes tell me exact roof age for every Florida address?
- No honest tool can. Permit-derived signals depend on county publication, match quality, and whether work was permitted. PropertyNotes shows retrieved records, no-match, and unavailable states instead of inventing a completed roof date.
- Is a permit the same as proof the roof was completed?
- No. A permit can show an issued or published event. It does not by itself establish completed work, current condition, or a full roof replacement. Review the linked source and your carrier rules.
- How is this different from opening the county portal myself?
- We assemble supported public records into one brief with retrieval status beside the property, and you can keep inspection files with the same desk. Coverage still varies by county and source health.
- Does this replace HailScore or HazardHub?
- No. Those products serve hazard and related intel. PropertyNotes is the FL public-record research and watch desk for agency workflows.
