This online tool provides homeowners and builders with a general indication of the types of wind insurance savings available from Florida insurance companies for building features that reduce damage during high wind events like hurricanes. Building features that reduce wind damage and can lower wind insurance premiums include:
Most existing houses have one or more wind resistive construction features and may qualify for some insurance discounts. In addition, houses built after 1994 in Miami-Dade or Broward Counties and houses built after 2002 in the rest of the state have many wind resistive construction features and will likely qualify for credits.
By answering a series of questions about your home as it currently exists or based on renovations you are planning, the Wind Insurance Savings Calculator (WISC), will help determine what level of savings you may be eligible for.
The discounts found on this website are based on insurance filings approved through January 2011 Click "Calculate Your Savings" to begin.
