Wind mitigation inspection software that fills the 1802 in the field.

What is a wind mitigation inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection documents the features of a home that help it resist wind damage — how the roof is attached, what shape it is, how the openings are protected. In Florida, the results go on a standardized form: the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, OIR-B1-1802, published by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

Florida law requires insurers to offer premium credits for construction features that reduce wind loss, and the 1802 is how those features get verified. That's why homeowners order wind mits: a one-hour inspection can lower their windstorm premium, often by enough to pay for the inspection many times over. It's one of the highest-value services an inspector can offer, and one of the easiest to add to a standard inspection.

The seven questions on the OIR-B1-1802

The form asks seven questions, and carriers want each answer supported by photos:

1. Building code. When was the home built or the roof permitted — does it fall under the Florida Building Code?
2. Roof covering. What's on the roof (shingle, tile, metal, other) and does it meet FBC or Miami-Dade approval?
3. Roof deck attachment. How is the decking fastened — nail type, size, and spacing.
4. Roof-to-wall attachment. Toe nails, clips, single wraps, or double wraps connecting the roof structure to the walls.
5. Roof geometry. Hip, flat, or other — hip roofs generally earn the credit.
6. Secondary water resistance (SWR). Is there a sealed roof deck or self-adhering underlayment beneath the covering?
7. Opening protection. The full chart: how every window, door, skylight, and garage door opening is protected, rated, and classified.

Opening protection is where paper forms fall apart — the chart is dense, and one missed cell means a callback from the agent. VantaHaus presents the full chart as tappable selections, so nothing gets skipped.

How VantaHaus fills the 1802 on your phone

Open a new wind mitigation report, and VantaHaus walks you through each of the seven questions in order. Every answer is a tap, not a handwritten note. As you document the attic, roof, and openings, you capture photos right in the app — they drop straight into the report and come out as a photo addendum in the finished PDF.

When you're done, you sign off under your license type — the 1802 requires the inspector to certify which credential they hold, and VantaHaus builds that into the sign-off step. The result is a clean, branded PDF the homeowner sends to their insurance carrier or agent for their premium credits. You can see the output quality on our sample report page.

Need the pre-inspection paperwork too? VantaHaus handles e-signed pre-inspection agreements and client invoicing in the same app, so the whole job — agreement, inspection, report, payment — lives in one place.

What it costs

The OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form is included in the Standard plan at $49.99/month, along with the Florida 4-point form and the Texas TREC REI 7-6 form — no per-form fees.
