Overview

RULE:

69O-170.0155

Forms

PURPOSE:

This rule is being amended to adopt a revised version of Office of Insurance Regulation form OIR-B1-1802, “Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form”. This form is being revised based on changes to the My Safe Florida Home program and the experience of the Office of Insurance Regulation, insurers and policyholders with the form since its last revision in July 2007.

SUMMARY:

Section 627.711, Florida Statutes, required the Office to develop a form to be used by home inspectors to verify the presence of windstorm-mitigation features on policyholder’s property so the insurer can calculate appropriate discounts. This form, OIR-B1-1802,first developed in July 2007, is being revised to use terminology commonly used in the construction industry in describing the construction features to be inspected and to require the inspector and homeowner to verify the inspector actually conducted the inspection.
