Florida Wind Mitigation

 

 

Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30 – now is the time to prepare. Thankfully, Florida did not experience a major hurricane this past season.  Click here to learn what you can do to help your home better withstand hurricane-force winds. 

Grant funds are not taxable income.  Following a request from CFO Sink, the IRS ruled in November 2007 that grants awarded through the MSFH program are not considered taxable income and do not have to be reported as income to the federal government. Read more here.
 

Certification of Inspectors
Due to the expiration of the My Safe Florida Home program on June 30, 2009, we are no longer certifying wind inspectors. A list of inactive inspectors associated with the program has been provided, along with the dates which they were active, to allow insurance companies to verify that the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Forms (Form 1802) submitted by homeowners participating in the program were completed by qualified, certified inspectors. Click here for a complete list of inspectors associated with the My Safe Florida Home program.
 
Learn more about mitigation discounts.
If your home has undergone a wind inspection through the My Safe Florida Home program and you are potentially eligible for insurance discounts or credits, you will receive a mitigation form. This personalized form will tell your insurance company how your home may qualify for insurance discounts.  Please read more.

31st Annual Destin Seafood Festival

 

 

For its 31st anniversary, the Destin Seafood Festival is returning its waterfront location on the Destin harbor! On Oct. 2-4, 2009, more than 36,000 visitors and locals will pack HarborWalk Village alongside Destin’s docks to enjoy fresh local seafood, live entertainment, arts and crafts booths, children’s activities, and more.

The Destin Seafood Festival is the traditional kick off of the Destin Fishing Rodeo, and there is no better way to mark its 31st year than to celebrate right beside Destin’s docks, which are home to the largest charter fishing fleet in the state of Florida.
