What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection evaluates how well your home can withstand high winds and wind-borne debris. In Florida, insurers offer savings when homes include certain wind-resistant features, per Florida Statute §627.0629.

We document these features on the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802), which insurers accept from authorized inspectors under §627.711. The form is valid for up to five (5) years if no material changes are made to the structure.

What We Assess (The Big 7)

  1. Roof Covering – type, age, and compliance with building codes

  2. Roof Deck Attachment – how the sheathing is secured

  3. Roof-to-Wall Connections – clips, straps, wraps, etc.

  4. Roof Geometry – hip vs. gable and other shapes

  5. Secondary Water Resistance (SWR) – membrane beneath roofing

  6. Opening Protection – shutters, impact-rated windows/doors/garage

  7. Additional Relevant Features – as listed on OIR-B1-1802 form
    These items mirror the state form used by insurers.

FAQs (Wind Mitigation – Florida)

How long is a wind mitigation inspection valid?
Up to 5 years, provided no material changes have been made. Many insurers ask for a new inspection after that window.

Which features usually earn the biggest credits?
Hip roof geometry, strong roof-to-wall connections (clips/straps), impact-rated openings or shutters, and an SWR membrane—credits vary by carrier.

Do I need a re-inspection if I replace my roof or windows?
Yes—material changes typically require an updated report to maintain/adjust credits.

Is this the same as a full home inspection?
No—this is an insurance inspection focused on wind-resistance items listed on the state form (OIR-B1-1802).

Who can sign the OIR-B1-1802?
Florida law specifies the types of authorized inspectors (including licensed home inspectors). Insurers must accept forms signed by these qualified professionals.
