Windstorm Certification Protects TWIA Eligibility

On the coast, the paperwork should begin before the wall closes. Construction that needs TWIA eligibility generally must be inspected and certified under the state windstorm program. The right path depends on when the work began and who inspected it.

For WPI-1 applications filed on or after April 1, 2026, TDI uses the 2024 residential or building code. Arrange inspections while roof ties, framing, and other connections are visible. Finished work can be harder to certify later.

Before buying, search TDI's system by address for a WPI-8 or WPI-8-E. Match the records to roofs, additions, windows, and repairs you can see. If something is missing, ask TDI, TWIA, and the seller what proof exists before you rely on future coverage.
