Wind Mitigation Incentives

Homeowners in Louisiana may be eligible for a state tax deduction or insurance premium discount for voluntarily strengthening their homes against storms and hurricanes in compliance with the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code.

• The first step for homeowners who are interested in this program is to contact your insurance company or agent to discuss what discounts might be available if you submit a completed Wind Mitigation Survey (also known as a Hurricane Loss Mitigation Survey) form.


• If you would like to move forward, download the Louisiana Hurricane Loss Mitigation Survey Form and complete Section I.


• Contact a qualified wind mitigation surveyor to complete Sections II and III. To find a wind mitigation surveyor, visit the Louisiana State Fire Marshal Code Enforcement webpage. Once there, select “Wind Mitigation Surveyor” in the Application Type field, complete the security image code verification process, and click the Search button. Click the magnifying glass icon on the right of each surveyor for contact information, then reach out to get quotes and begin the survey process.


• Once complete, submit the form to your insurance company or agent. The information surveyed is used to calculate what storm mitigation has been completed and if the homeowner is eligible for premium discounts or incentives.
