Coral Springs amends code on roof and paint approvals to align with state law
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved a code clarification that distinguishes paint/roof color approval requirements for nonresidential properties and encourages voluntary residential compliance, citing section 166.0483, Florida Statutes.
The Coral Springs City Commission voted unanimously to amend sections of the city’s building and land‑development code to clarify paint and roof‑color approval requirements and align local practice with state law.
City staff described the change as a clarification that paint color approvals are required for nonresidential properties while residents are encouraged — but not compelled — to check the city’s paint palette for voluntary compliance. Staff said the change responds to a notice prompted by a 2017 state law and is intended to match current municipal practice.
A city attorney noted the amendment is meant to conform the local code with section 166.0483, Florida Statutes. During discussion, commissioners asked how often the city updates its paint palette; staff said roof material colors and paint palette adjustments are reviewed periodically and that they would follow up with the precise schedule.
The commission moved to approve the ordinance and it carried unanimously.
The ordinance is intended as a code clarity measure rather than a change that immediately alters enforcement practices for single‑family homeowners, according to staff.
