Louisiana’s approach has produced measurable results. According to a report from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor, homeowners who upgraded their roofs to Fortified standards saw a 22% reduction in their average annual premiums, with more than a quarter of participants saving $2,000 or more per year. The state offers a $10,000 income tax credit for the installation of a reinforced roof and, through January 2026, offers a deduction of up to $10,000 for voluntary home retrofitting. In April 2026, the Louisiana Department of Insurance went even further, requiring every property insurer in the state to offer mandatory premium discounts on Fortified-designated homes by January 1, 2027, with discount levels set by a benchmark table developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
