Can I get a wind mitigation inspection for a modular home?
Thursday, October 29, 2020
Modular homes are built in a factory, but to the same building codes and standards as a site-built house, so they are eligible to receive the identical discounts for hurricane-resistant construction details from a wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) as a site-built house. Unfortunately, mobile manufactured homes are not included in the wind mitigation insurance discount program.
Also, see our blog post How can I tell the difference between a manufactured home and a modular home?
