Wind Mitigation Inspection Saves Central Florida Homeowners Money on Insurance Premiums


Who is eligible for a wind mitigation inspection discount?

The State of Florida requires all insurance companies to offer wind mitigation discounts to Florida homeowners.  Wind insurance credits are obtainable on the building features that reduce damage during high winds on all single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and commercial buildings. Many existing structures have one or more of the wind-resistivity construction features already. Homeowners, as well as condominium associations, qualify for wind mitigation credits.

 

How do I save money?

The State of Florida requires insurance companies to offer reduced rates for certain wind mitigation features. A wind mitigation inspection must be performed by a certified wind mitigation inspector; Home Inspector, Building Code Inspector, an engineer, an architect, or any other individual that holds the necessary qualifications as described by Florida Statues.  A wind mitigation inspector will document features of your home on the required OIR-B1-1802 Wind Mitigation form and take photographs of them, which when applied to your insurance policy will decrease the cost of your homeowner’s insurance.deltona wind mitigation inspection, debary wind mitigation inspection, Orange City wind mitigation inspection, Deland wind mitigation, Sanford wind mitigation Inspection, Osteen wind mitigation, single strap

 

How much money can I save with a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

Wind mitigation features are mandated by state law and can total 45 percent of the original windstorm policy’s premium.  Insurance companies are required to offer discounts for features that qualify for wind storm credits.  A Wind Mitigation Inspection can save you as much as $1,260 on a homeowner’s insurance policy of $2,800.

 

How much does a wind mitigation inspection cost in Florida?

The cost of Wind Mitigation Inspections varies by region in Florida.  Orlando Wind Mitigation Inspection costs average $200.  Miami costs are around $225 while the cost of North and Central Florida remains between $150 and $200.  A wind mitigation certificate is good for five years.  Once you have your Wind Mitigation Certificate it will reduce your premium and save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars each year.
