What is a Hurricane Mitigation Inspection?

Modified on Tue, 27 May at 10:11 AM

A Hurricane Mitigation Inspection is a home inspection performed by a Wind Certification Entity (Inspector) pursuant to the MSFH Program. Hurricane Mitigation Inspections typically take one (1) hour to perform. 


These inspections are designed to describe the presence or absence of Hurricane Resistant Features that have been proven to help a home survive windstorms and are not condition-based inspections. If features of your home are showing signs of age and wear, have them examined by a proper professional who can help you assess their condition and make suggestions. An aging or worn house may not receive any recommendations because all the Hurricane Resistant Features are present.


PLEASE NOTE: An approval for a Hurricane Mitigation Inspection through the MSFH Program is NOT an approval for a Hurricane Mitigation Grant.
