What Is Documented

What a wind mitigation inspection documents

The wind mitigation inspection follows Florida's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form. The inspector documents specific features related to how well the home can resist wind damage.

Roof Covering

The type and installation method of the roof covering material. Newer, approved materials installed to current codes may qualify for favorable ratings.

Roof Deck Attachment

How the roof decking is attached to the structural framing. Stronger attachment methods — such as ring-shank nails or screws — may be rated more favorably.

Roof-to-Wall Connection

How the roof structure connects to the exterior walls. Single wraps, double wraps, clips, and structural attachments are evaluated — stronger connections may receive better ratings.

Roof Shape

The geometry of the roof — hip roofs generally perform better in wind events than gable roofs. Roof shape is documented and evaluated as part of the form.

Opening Protection

Windows, doors, and skylights — whether they are impact-rated, protected by shutters, or standard unprotected openings. Impact-rated or protected openings may receive favorable credits.

When to Request This Inspection

When homeowners request a wind mitigation inspection

A wind mitigation inspection is typically insurance-driven. Many Florida homeowners request one after purchasing a home, at renewal, or when shopping for new coverage.

Florida is one of the most hurricane-exposed states in the country. Insurance carriers use wind mitigation reports to understand how well a home's construction may resist wind damage.
Many homeowners request a wind mitigation inspection when they purchase a home to understand whether their new property qualifies for insurance credits based on its construction features.
At renewal or when switching carriers, a current wind mitigation report may help document features that qualify for credits or discounts — requirements vary by carrier.
Homes with impact windows, hip roofs, or reinforced roof attachments may benefit most from the inspection, as these features are evaluated positively on Florida's Uniform Mitigation Verification form.
The inspection documents existing features — it cannot retroactively change the construction of your home. Upgrades made after the inspection would require a new report to be reflected.

FAQ

Common questions about wind mitigation inspections

What is a wind mitigation inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection documents a home's wind-resistant construction features using Florida's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form. The completed form is submitted to your insurance carrier as part of the rating process.

Does a wind mitigation inspection guarantee a discount on my insurance?

No. A wind mitigation inspection documents your home's features — it does not guarantee any specific discount or credit. The insurance carrier determines how to rate your policy based on the findings in the report, their underwriting guidelines, and other factors. Outcomes vary by carrier and property.

How long is a wind mitigation report valid in Florida?

Wind mitigation reports are generally accepted for five years by most Florida carriers, though individual insurer requirements vary. Check with your insurer to confirm how long your specific report remains valid for rating purposes.

What features on my home might be rated positively?

Features that are commonly rated favorably on Florida's wind mitigation form include hip roofs, impact-rated windows and doors or approved shutters, stronger roof-to-wall connections (clips, double wraps, structural), and newer roof coverings installed to current code. Your inspector will document what is present — the carrier determines the rating.

Can I schedule a wind mitigation and 4-point inspection together?

Yes. Both inspections are insurance-related and can typically be completed in the same visit. Many homeowners schedule them together to save time and cost. Ask us about scheduling both when you call. See our 4-point inspection page for details.
