Third-Party Provider
A Third-Party Provider registration is required for:
- any individual or an individual employed by an entity, contracted to act in the capacity of a BCEO by an authority having jurisdiction, a licensed contractor, or a homeowner who is exempted from the contractor licensing law under R.S. 37:2170.
Wind Mitigation Surveyor
A Wind Mitigation Surveyor registration is required for:
- an individual acting as a wind mitigation surveyor, of third party provider, performing a survey to complete the Louisiana Hurricane Loss Mitigation Survey Form. The Survey Form, LAC 37 Part XIII, Section 12721. Appendix A, is to be utilized by consumers applying for justifying discounts for features that comply with building codes, or, for installed mitigation improvements utilizing construction techniques demonstrated to reduce the amount of hurricane loss from a windstorm.
