4 Point Inspection Details

As of 2022, a 4 point inspection is required by most insurance companies to secure a home owners insurance policy on a Florida home that is over 20 years old. The 4 point inspection provides information on the 4 main systems of a house; the electrical system, HVAC (heating and air conditioning), Plumbing (including water heater), and the roof.



Rules for Florida Home Owners Insurance are approved by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation- the OIR. In Feb of 2022, the Florida OIR approved requiring 4 Point inspections every 20 years (previously it was 30 years) with rule 206.
