Proposed Changes to the Wind Mitigation Will Hurt Treasure Coast Residents

Proposed changes in the new wind mitigation form are being discussed in Tallahassee on Tuesday September 20, 2011. If passed as discussed, it will dramatically impact the residents of Saint Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach counties. The changes would require a 3 nail minimum for a ‘CLIP’ rating. Many of the older existing homes have 2 nails. The cost increase could be several hundred dollars a year. A cost that many cannot afford.

Get involved and contact your representatives in the State and contact the Office of Insurance Regulation.

I responded to the situation in a recent NACHI forum post.
