Deductibles

Windstorm Loss Mitigation Discounts

Your policy may be eligible for a premium credit for Windstorm Loss Mitigation features if it covers losses due to Windstorm or Hail. 

In order to determine eligibility, an inspection of your home and completion of the Florida Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form by either a registered or licensed certified building inspector or General Contractor is required. 

The inspection will verify the presence of opening protection and wind mitigation features that may save your money on your insurance policy. 

Your premium already includes a credit for a building code update if your home was built in 2002 or newer.

If your home is older, or if you have additional wind mitigation features, obtaining the Florida Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form may be beneficial and result in premium savings.

The inspector or General Contractor will look at the following items to determine eligibility:

  1. Roof Covering – meets Florida Building Code standards or not

  2. Roof Deck Attachment – spacing of nails when attaching the roof

  3. Roof to Wall Connection – type of connector used to attach the roof, i.e. toe nails, clips

  4. Opening Protection - i.e. windows, sliding glass doors, garage doors

  5. Secondary Water Resistance (SWR) – layer of protection that protects the building if the roof covering fails

  6. Roof Shape - i.e. gable, hip

Please contact your independent agent for any questions about your home and whether an inspection or additional wind mitigation features would be beneficial for you
