Understanding Wind Mitigation Discounts

How Discounts Work

Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for specific hurricane protection features. These discounts are cumulative - the more features you have, the greater your savings.

  • Discounts range from 5% to 45% of windstorm premium
  • Windstorm typically represents 15-70% of total premium
  • Coastal properties see the highest savings
  • Newer homes (post-2002) already have some features

Wind Mitigation Inspection

A certified inspector documents your home's hurricane-resistant features. This inspection is required to receive discounts.

  • Inspection costs $75-$150
  • Valid for 5 years
  • Takes about 30-45 minutes
  • Uniform Mitigation Verification Form provided
  • Submit to insurance for immediate savings
