Wind provisions govern more than flood does
For roofing, the controlling requirements are the wind provisions of the Florida Building Code rather than flood mapping — uplift ratings, fastening patterns and secondary water barriers, all administered through Clearwater Planning and Development. Flood zone matters mainly through the substantial-improvement threshold when a roof is part of larger repairs. These are code questions with real specification consequences, not formalities.

Confirm the wind requirements for your address
Citywide guidance cannot tell you the wind requirements applied to your parcel, what is under your current roof covering, or the condition of the deck beneath it. Confirm the first with the city and the rest with whoever tears off.
