Florida\u2019s solution came in the form of wind mitigation inspections, this proved a means of safeguarding properties in targeted areas in the hopes that insurance carriers would increase their odds of insuring more secure, less damage susceptible properties. In 2006 Florida became the first state to mandate that insurance carriers offer insurance discounts if a wind mitigation inspection is completed by a certified inspector (usually a state-certified contractor, architect, or engineer). Savings will depend on your property\u2019s features, the inspector will evaluate your property\u2019s wind mitigating features and then make recommendations if he feels there could be improvements made to benefit you.
