Has Florida updated the wind mitigation form for 2026? Yes, it has, and the updated template is already in Palmtech waiting for you. It’s called Uniform Wind Mitigation – 2026, and it’s got everything you need to stay compliant. You just have to go grab it.
What changed with the Florida wind mitigation form?
The Wind Mitigation form, which documents a home’s wind-resistant features for insurance purposes, is a fixed-form report tied to state compliance guidelines. Those guidelines changed. That means the form has to change too, and Uniform Wind Mitigation – 2026 is what inspectors need to be running going forward.
Keep running the old one? Your reports may not be accepted. That’s not a headache you want during the busy season.
Why is there a new template instead of an update to the old one?
Good question. When you change a fixed-form template mid-stream, it can mess with reports that are already in progress. Nobody wants that. A separate template keeps your current work clean and gives you a clear path to the updated form – no disruption, no risk.
It’s also been tested. We ran it through internal review and a group of real Palmtech inspectors before making it widely available. You’re not the guinea pig here.
