Questions about your inspection
How long is a Wind Mitigation report valid?
Florida OIR states that the completed form can remain valid for up to five years if the structure has no material changes and the form contains no inaccuracies. Share your existing report and any later improvements with your insurance agent to find out what documentation the carrier needs.
Will this lower my insurance premium?
The report may document features your insurer considers for credits. The insurer decides whether they qualify and how they affect your policy. We cannot promise a particular discount.
Do I need a new report after replacing the roof?
A new roof can change the features documented in the old report, so that report may no longer describe the home accurately. An updated inspection can document the replacement and any qualifying features. Your insurance agent can confirm which updated report the carrier requires.
What if the attic cannot be accessed?
Tell us before the visit. An inaccessible area may limit which construction details can be verified, and that limitation will be documented.
Do I also need a 4 Point Inspection?
Only if your insurer also requires a 4 Point report. Wind Mitigation documents wind-resistant features; it does not replace the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC condition report. Both inspections can be requested together.
How much does a Wind Mitigation Inspection cost?
The published base rate is $175 for homes under 4,000 sq ft, $300 for 4,000–5,999 sq ft and $450 for 6,000–6,999 sq ft. A combo with a 4 Point Inspection starts at $275 for homes under 4,000 sq ft. Larger or multi-unit properties need a tailored quote; your property quote confirms the total.

Connect improvements to available evidence
Use Coral Springs Building Department resources to look for the permit history of roof or opening-protection work. Collect available installation and product documents from the owner or contractor. A permit entry alone does not establish every feature required for a wind report.
Use Coral Springs’ address-search format
Open Coral Springs’ linked eTRAKiT Permit Search. Its search notes say to select the address method, choose CONTAINS and omit a street suffix such as St., Ave. or Blvd. Confirm the matching property, then look for the roof or opening-protection work you want documented; keep installation and product records with the permit history.
Official lookup guidanceRead the record’s status and request clarification
Coral Springs allows searches of active, closed and expired permits. Review the available Permit Info and Inspections sections for matching roof or opening-protection work. If you need clarification, ask the Building Department about its Open/Expired Permit Search, which asks for the address, folio number and owner’s name. Permit history supports the visit; it does not prove that every opening has matching protection or establish an insurance credit.
Official lookup guidance City open/expired permit request and applicable feesHave the request and access ready
Send your insurer’s requested form and deadline, gather available records, and arrange authorized, safe access to the systems or features being documented. Tell us about inaccessible areas or equipment that is shut down. Leave panel covers and unfamiliar or unsafe equipment to the appropriate professional.
Florida OIR publishes the current inspection form and consumer guidance. Share prior reports and later improvements with your inspector, and ask your insurance agent how the documentation applies to your policy. View OIR’s wind mitigation resources.
Local property questions
Do shutters automatically qualify my Coral Springs home for a discount?
No automatic credit should be assumed. The installed protection, documentation, inspection findings and the insurer’s requirements all matter. Ask the carrier how it evaluates the completed report.
Should I bring a prior Wind Mitigation report?
Yes, if available, along with records of work completed since that report. Tell us about replacements or changes so the current visit can be planned around the property as it exists now.
Does this inspection replace a broader home inspection?
No. Its purpose is wind-feature documentation for the insurance discussion. A Pre-Purchase Inspection addresses a broader range of accessible home conditions, and a 4 Point report has a separate four-system focus.
