When You Can And Cannot Reroof Over Existing Shingles
Generally, it's ok to roof over an existing roof of one layer of shingles.

That said, it's far less common in Florida, than most other states. I'm not a roofer, but from what I understand, it's nearly impossible to meet FL roofing regulations without removing the existing roof (unless it's only a couple of years old).
