What is Wind mitigation inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection records specific features an insurer will discount for: roof covering type and its permit date, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections such as clips or single and double wraps, roof geometry, the presence of a secondary water resistance barrier, and opening protection such as impact-rated glazing or shutters. Florida uses a uniform form, and the discounts can be substantial, which makes it a popular ancillary service. It is a documentation exercise against defined categories rather than a condition assessment, and accuracy matters because the carrier prices from it.
