**Uniform Mitigation Verification Form (WBDR-1802) **
**No Longer Required**
**ATB #008-10 – September 22, 2010**
______________________________________________________
Effective immediately, the *Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form* (WBDR-1802) that originally was created for homes with coverage of $750,000 or more and located in the wind-borne debris region (WBDR) is being retired.
The updated *Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form* ([OIR-B1-1802 rev 02/10](https://www.citizensfla.com/shared/forms/multi-location/OIR_B1_1802.pdf)) adopted by the Office of Insurance Regulation and announced in *[Agent Technical Bulletin #004-10](https://www.citizensfla.com/agent/ac_techbulletins.cfm?type=ie&show=pdf&year=2010&link=/shared/ATB/ATB004-10/ATB004-10.pdf)* includes all eligible categories of opening protection required to determine WBDR eligibility, so a separate form no longer is needed.
I was aware of that but thanks anyway. I thought maybe the information came from today’s meeting and was hoping they did something useful with the 1802 form.
I do not think many insurance agencies were even aware of that form. I do not believe any agency EVER asked me to use that form. Just trying to decide what a home is actually worth now days makes that ridiculous.
I have used it several times. I would only use it if the property appraiser posted a value greater than $750. Most times I would forget until I arrived at the property. I never had an agent ask for it.
I kept a few spare forms in my truck for when it was obvious. I would be willing to bet most of the guys doing the inspections on their own “one man operations” did not even know it existed.
It was primarily citizens that required the over $750 form. The other major carriers used the 1802 for normal values. it was also only for houses in the WBDR.
The over $750 form hasn’t been requested even by citizens since the new form was used.
