THE RIGHT INSPECTION FOR THIS HOME

Understand the features behind your wind report.

For Florida homeowners and buyers who need documentation of wind-resistant construction features, including after certain roof or opening-protection improvements.

Compare inspection purposes

Document what can be verified

Accessible construction features and available supporting documents help establish what can be reported. A feature should not be assumed from the home’s appearance, neighborhood or a nearby property.

Connect improvements to evidence

Roof replacement records, opening-protection documents and a prior report can provide useful context. Let the inspector know about later changes so the documentation reflects the property being inspected.

Have an informed insurance discussion

Your insurance agent can explain how the completed report applies to your policy. The carrier determines eligibility and any premium change; an inspection does not guarantee a discount or future storm performance.

What matters for this inspection in Parkland

Document the particular roof and openings

For a Parkland property with additions or changed openings, available permits and product documents can help distinguish what was installed from what simply looks similar. The current Building Department portal is the records starting point. Features must be verified for the actual home being inspected.

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.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Parkland questions, answered.

Where can I research earlier work on a Parkland home?

Parkland says its former Trakit software is no longer available and directs users to My Government Online. Start from the city’s current Building Department page rather than an old bookmarked portal when asking about permit history. The official resource links below connect to the relevant department.

Is Wind Mitigation the same as a 4 Point Inspection?

No. Wind Mitigation documents wind-related construction features. A 4 Point report documents roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC information for underwriting. Ask your insurance agent which reports are requested.

Will a Wind Mitigation report lower my premium?

Documented features may support insurance credits, but a reduction is not automatic. The insurer reviews the report against the policy and its requirements.
