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.

- • 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
