In Florida, a wind mitigation report is a document that provides information about the wind-resistant features of a home or building. This report is prepared by a licensed home inspector, engineer, or architect who has specialized training in wind mitigation. The report includes details about the construction methods, materials, and features of the building that can help to reduce damage from strong winds.
Wind mitigation reports are required by insurance companies in Florida to determine the level of risk associated with insuring a particular property against wind damage and provide insurance premium discounts based on 7 categories. The report can be used to identify ways in which a homeowner can improve their property to make it more wind-resistant, which can result in lower insurance premiums. Some of the features that can be included in a wind mitigation report for insurance purposes may include hurricane shutters, roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachments, and the presence of impact-resistant windows and doors.
