“Discounts received in the first year often exceed the inspection fee, and savings accrue each subsequent year of the policy,” “Homeowners should expect to pay about a $100 inspection fee for a home under 5,000 square feet.”

A 2002 Florida statute required all insurance companies to provide discounts on the hurricane wind portion of insurance premiums for wind resistant features found on many homes, however, little was done to advise homeowners of the discounts. Newly enacted legislation, which is expected to be signed into law soon by Governor Bush, will require insurance companies to clearly notify policy holders of the availability and amount of premium discounts beginning no later than October 1, 2005. 

To receive discounts, insurance companies require documentation be completed by a design professional, building inspector or certified inspector who evaluates the home to determine the presence of wind resistant features. In addition to shutters and impact rated glass, discounts are offered for roof-to-wall connections, roof deck fastening, Florida Building Code equivalent roof covering and hip roof shape.
