The FORTIFIED™ insurance discount in Oklahoma: 3% to 42%, depending on your insurer

The FORTIFIED roof insurance discount in Oklahoma ranges from 3% to 42% of the wind and hail premium, according to the last list OID published. State law says insurers must give one when they find it actuarially justified, and doesn’t set the size, so the insurer you’re with can matter as much as the roof.

What the law says

36 O.S. § 961 and § 962 in plain English

  • Insurers must give a discount for FORTIFIED High Wind & Hail homes when they find it actuarially justified.
  • The discount must be “actuarially justified” and come from a filed rating plan.
  • It applies to the wind and hail portion only, not the whole bill.
  • You must keep records: the certificate and contractor and material receipts.

Why it’s worth asking

Oklahoma’s premiums make the percentage matter

LendingTree ranks Oklahoma the most expensive state for home insurance. A percentage discount is worth more when the bill is big, and in Oklahoma much of the bill is for wind and hail.

OID’s own figures for grant homes have put the average saving at $720 to $750 a year across its 2025 and 2026 announcements, and its January 2026 release described premium cuts of 20% to 30%.

Find the wind and hail line: Look at your declarations page, or ask your agent how much of your premium is for wind and hail.
Ask for the filed rate: “What’s your FORTIFIED High Wind & Hail discount in Oklahoma, and when was it filed?”
Ask what proof they need: Usually the IBHS certificate. Keep the receipts too, as the law asks.
Check the renewal: Make sure the discount shows on the next declarations page. The grant’s last step asks you to upload it.
Claiming it

Four steps to get the discount on your bill

The discount isn’t automatic. Your insurer needs your certificate, and you should check the next renewal shows it. If your insurer’s rate is low, the FORTIFIED certificate goes with the house, so you can use it when shopping for a new policy.

FAQ

Discount questions

Do Oklahoma insurers have to give a FORTIFIED discount?

Usually, but not unconditionally. 36 O.S. 961 says insurers shall give a discount on the wind and hail premium when they determine it’s actuarially justified. The size is set by each insurer’s filing. OID proposed in December 2025 to require it outright.

How big is the State Farm FORTIFIED discount in Oklahoma?

OID’s sheet, based on 2018 filings, lists 30% off the wind and hail premium. Ask State Farm for the current figure.

Does the discount come off my whole premium?

No. Oklahoma law applies it to the wind and hail portion only.

What do I need to claim the discount?

Your IBHS FORTIFIED certificate. The law also asks you to keep contractor and material receipts.
