Modified on Thu, 31 Jul at 4:12 PM

A Hurricane Mitigation Inspection is a home inspection performed by a Wind Certification Entity (“Inspector” or “Inspection Company”) pursuant to the MSFH Program. 


They are designed to describe the presence or absence of Hurricane Resistant Features proven to help a home survive windstorms. Hurricane Mitigation Inspections through the MSFH Program are not condition-based InspectionsAn aging or worn house may not receive any Improvement recommendations on a MSFH Program Initial Inspection Report because all the Hurricane Resistant Features are present.


Each Applicant can apply for and receive only one (1) Initial Inspection by an MSFH Program Inspector for the current homesteaded property. 


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