Wind Mitigation Inspection — Quick Answers
What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A Florida-required inspection (form OIR-B1-1802) that documents construction features that resist hurricane wind damage. Each verified feature can earn the homeowner an insurance discount.
How long does the inspection take?
30-45 minutes on site. With InspectorData, the form fills directly on your phone, photos drop into the right question, and the PDF goes to the carrier with one click.
How long is the form valid?
Five (5) years per the form itself — provided no material changes have been made to the structure or inaccuracies are found on the form.
Who can sign the form?
Florida home inspectors (Section 468.8314 with statutory hurricane mitigation training), building code inspectors, licensed contractors, professional engineers, professional architects, or others recognized by the insurer per Section 627.711(2), F.S.
The Nine Form Sections — and What Each One Documents
The OIR-B1-1802 has nine numbered questions, each tied to a specific construction feature that affects wind resistance. InspectorData walks you through every section in order with the right photo prompts.
1. Building Code
Which Florida Building Code (FBC) was in force at the original permit application — FBC 2001 & 2004, FBC 2007 or later, or SFBC-94 (HVHZ only). Tied to year built and permit application date.
2. Region (Design Wind Speed)
Location classification: HVHZ, Region 1 (≥140 mph), Region 2 (130-139 mph), or Region 3 (<130 mph). Based on ASCE 7-22 (700-year MRI) Risk Category 2.
3. Roof Slope
Greater than or equal to 6:12, or less than 6:12. For multi-slope roofs, the slope covering at least two-thirds of the main roof area.
4. Roof Covering
Material types in use, FBC or Miami-Dade Product Approval number, year of original installation/replacement. Plus the Product Approval Listing classification (A through D).
5. Roof Deck Attachment
The weakest deck attachment method on the roof — measured in mean ultimate uplift resistance (psf). Options A through H, including reinforced concrete and spray foam systems.
6. Roof-to-Wall Attachment
The weakest connection between roof framing and the wall: Toenails, Clips, Single Wraps, Double Wraps, Structural anchor bolts, or Other. Substantiated wind allowable uplift capacities required for each tier.
7. Roof Geometry
Hip Roof (with non-hip features under 10% of total perimeter), Flat Roof (5+ unit buildings, 90%+ slope under 2:12), or Other Roof.
8. Sealed Roof Deck / Secondary Water Resistance (SWR)
Polymer-modified bitumen underlayment (ASTM D1970), seam taping, double layer of felt, or spray foam systems. Standard underlayment and hot-mopped felt do NOT qualify.
9. Opening Protection
The weakest form of wind-borne debris protection across all glazed and non-glazed openings. Levels A through Z, with the full Opening Protection Level Chart cross-referenced for each opening type (windows, garage doors, skylights, glass block, entry doors).
Why Photos Are Required on Every Section
The form is explicit: "At least one photograph or document providing proof must accompany this form to validate each attribute marked in questions 2 through 9."
That's not an optional best practice — it's the form rule. Carriers reject Wind Mits without photo documentation for each verified feature. InspectorData enforces this with a required-photo compliance gate: the Finalize button stays grayed out until every required photo is uploaded.
For FORTIFIED Home certificates (Roof, Silver, or Gold), a copy of the certificate may substitute for some attribute photos in questions 4-6 and 8-9.
How InspectorData Speeds It Up
- Pull up the form on your phone or tablet on site. Or jot field notes and finalize at the truck or office.
- Voice dictation built in. Tap the mic, talk through findings, the system drops them into the matching section. Free, browser-native, no audio leaves your device.
- Photos stay tagged to the right question. Snap a roof deck nailing photo — it labels itself for question 5. Same for roof-to-wall, opening protection, all of it.
- Phone ↔ computer live sync. Pick up where you left off when you sit down at your computer.
- Required-photo compliance gate. Finalize stays disabled until every required photo is in. You will never deliver a Wind Mit and get a "missing photo" rejection.
- Qualified Inspector certification block. Pre-fills your license type, license number, and signature block from your business profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the form on InspectorData the current OIR-B1-1802?
Yes — Revision 04/26, the current adopted version. When the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation publishes a new revision, we update the form automatically. You always file the current version.
How many photos does a typical Wind Mit need?
Most inspectors document 15-25 photos per inspection. Required photos cover roof deck nailing pattern, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, sealed roof deck (if present), and every opening with protection. The compliance gate catches missing required photos.
Can I bundle a 4-Point and a Wind Mit?
Yes — and most Florida inspectors do. InspectorData has both forms and the property header carries between them so you don't retype anything. Most inspectors charge $125-$225 for a combo Wind Mit + 4-Point.
Who can sign the OIR-B1-1802?
Per Section 627.711(2), F.S.: home inspectors with statutory hurricane mitigation training, building code inspectors, licensed contractors, professional engineers, professional architects, or others recognized by the insurer. The form has a checkbox for the qualified inspector to indicate which license they hold.
What if a feature is unknown or unidentifiable?
Each section has 'Unknown or unidentified' or 'No attic access' options. The carrier won't grant the discount for that feature, but the form remains valid for the features that ARE documented. The homeowner just doesn't get the corresponding rate differential.
How does the FORTIFIED Home certificate fit in?
A FORTIFIED Home Roof, Silver, or Gold certificate may be used to validate attributes in questions 4-6 and 8-9. The form has checkboxes for the certificate type and you attach a photocopy. This can save photo work on those specific sections.
