Wind Mitigation Inspection in Citrus County, Florida

Eagle Comprehensive Home Inspections performs wind mitigation inspections throughout Citrus County, FL. A wind mitigation inspection documents the construction features of your home that protect against hurricane wind damage. Florida insurance companies are required by law to offer discounts for homes with qualifying wind mitigation features — and those discounts frequently amount to $200–$800 per year in premium savings. The inspection pays for itself within the first year.

What Wind Mitigation Inspectors Evaluate

  • Roof covering: Material and installation method (FBC 2001 or later compliance)
  • Roof deck attachment: Nail spacing, nail size, sheathing thickness
  • Roof-to-wall connection: Hurricane straps, clips, or toe-nailed connections
  • Roof shape: Hip roofs earn the largest discounts; flat or gable roofs earn less
  • Opening protection: Impact-rated windows, doors, and garage doors
  • Secondary water resistance: Self-adhering underlayment beneath roof covering

Eagle Comprehensive delivers a completed OIR-B1-1802 form — the official Florida Department of Insurance wind mitigation report — signed by our state-licensed inspector and accepted by every Florida insurance carrier.

Citrus County Wind Mitigation — What to Expect

Homes built after 2002 under the Florida Building Code typically qualify for the largest discounts due to mandatory construction improvements. Older homes in Crystal River, Inverness, and Homosassa may still qualify for partial credits based on roof shape, opening protection, or voluntary upgrades. Eagle Comprehensive inspectors know exactly what to document to maximize your insurance credit.

How Much Can You Save?

Wind mitigation discounts in Florida can range from 5% to 45% of the wind portion of your premium, depending on qualifying features. In Citrus County — where property insurance rates have climbed significantly in recent years — that translates to real money. Many homeowners recoup the full cost of the inspection through savings within a single policy period.
