I want to let everyone know that I was able to get the free (state-funded) Wind Mitigation Inspection in May.  Then I turned in the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form to my agent who turned it in to the insurance company, and I am happy to report that I received a $596 credit to my current HOI policy, bringing it from $2500 down to about $1900 per year.  That is still a lot of money but every little bit counts.  Unfortunately, I was not able to apply for a grant by the May 31st deadline because the state had not yet generated the resulting Wind Inspection Report (it takes about 45 days from the date of the inspection).  Now I am looking into getting a refund for prior years.
