To calculate the approximate discount you may expect, visit  Florida Wind Insurance Savings Calculator. There, you can see how the discounts are calculated and how it pertains to you.

See below for more information on the Wind Mitigation inspections and other important information:

Effective June 30th 2009, the My Safe Florida Home Program unfortunately came to an end, or at least a sabbatical for a period, waiting for additional funding, hopefully in the coming years. After almost three years, the program has been a great success. Over 400,000 FREE inspections were conducted, almost 35,000 homeowners received a grant for mitigation purposes and almost all received an insurance discount of some nature or other.

On May 3, 2010, the process changed once more.  From that day forward, a new Form 1802 02/10 became the mandatory reporting form.  This form is asking for a significantly greater amount of information, thus requiring an added amount of research for each inspection.  Therefore, the price for these inspections will be $150, $125 if you mention that you saw this notice.  Thank you for your understanding.

As announced by the MSFH home program office / Department of Financial Services, ALL MSFH inspectors were placed on an “inactive list” on the MSFH web site and will no longer be certified. The department of financial services will also not be certifying any inspectors past June 30th 2009.

Under the MSFH program, Wind Certification entities were under contract to provide oversight and quality control on every inspector and inspection conducted by the inspectors under their responsibility to ensure the quality of data for processing of each report. Wind Certification entities will also no longer take responsibility for the inspections these inspectors conduct under the above statutes, unless of course, they are still working under the WCE’s own program for inspections.

Always use a Certified inspector who is still working under a WCE and/or is at least one of the following:

1.    A General, Building, or Residential Contractor as licensed under FS Sec 489.111

2.    A Building Code Inspector certified in the State of Florida under FS Sec 468.607

3.    A Professional Engineer licensed under FS Sec 471.015 and who has passed the appropriate equivalence test of the Building Code Training as required by FS Sec 553.841, or

4.    A Professional Architect licensed under FS Sec 481.213
