Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) windstorm insurance credits for new construction and retrofit opening protection
Texas Windstorm Insurance Association / Texas Department of Insurance · Insurer program
Insurance discount; no dollar amount stated on the official page
TWIA offers wind and hail insurance discounts for some homes that are built to windstorm standards, and it also offers a retrofit credit when existing homes add approved windborne-debris-resistant protection to exterior openings. Texas does not mandate a statewide homeowner hardening grant for wildfire; this is the main statewide insurer-backed incentive I found that pays homeowners through lower insurance costs.
Program details
How it works
Texas Department of Insurance says TWIA offers wind and hail insurance discounts for new homes constructed in accordance with the International Residential Code or International Building Code, and a discount for existing structures that retrofit their exterior openings with windborne debris resistant products.
What the money covers
The incentive is not a cash payment. It is an insurance credit/discount tied to windstorm-resistant construction or retrofit of exterior openings. TDI says you can get an inspection for each windborne debris resistant product you install.
Amounts and matching
The official TDI page confirms that a discount exists, but it does not state a dollar amount or percentage on the page itself.
How to apply
TDI directs homeowners to contact TWIA or visit TWIA's website for details. The TDI page also says each installed windborne-debris-resistant product must be inspected.
Timing and deadlines
No opening or closing dates are stated on the official page. This is an ongoing insurance-program feature, subject to TWIA rules and inspections.
