How Impact Windows Can Lower Your Homeowner’s Insurance Premium

Many Florida insurers offer significant discounts for certified impact products — here’s how to claim yours.

Your Legal Right

Florida Law Requires This Discount

“Florida insurers are required by law to offer windstorm mitigation discounts. Impact windows and doors are among the highest-value mitigation credits available.”

This isn’t a courtesy — it’s a legal mandate. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires all residential property insurers to offer premium discounts for wind mitigation features. Impact-rated windows and doors are among the most valuable qualifying features you can install.

How to Claim It

3 Steps to Claim Your Discount

Step 01

Complete a Wind Mitigation Inspection

After installation, hire a licensed wind mitigation inspector to document your impact products. Cost: $75–150. This inspection is the key that unlocks your discount.

Step 02

Submit the Report to Your Insurer

Provide the completed wind mitigation report to your homeowner’s insurance provider. Most insurers process the discount within 30 days.

Step 03

Your premium is adjusted to reflect the windstorm mitigation credit. Most homeowners recoup the inspection cost in the first year alone.
