Generate Jurisdiction Reports (TREC, Wind Mitigation & 4-Point)
Learn how jurisdiction reports work in inspectagram, when to use specific inspection templates and how to generate state-required reporting forms from your inspection data.
Why This Matters
Many jurisdictions, insurance providers and regulatory bodies require standardized reporting forms in addition to a traditional inspection report.
Completing these forms manually after an inspection can create duplicate work and increase the risk of missing information.
inspectagram helps streamline this process by generating supported jurisdiction reports directly from inspection data.
Using the correct inspection template and understanding how jurisdiction reports work helps improve accuracy, reduce manual editing and create a more efficient reporting workflow.
Recommended Approach
Use the inspection template designed for the jurisdiction report you intend to generate.
Complete the inspection using that template, publish the report and then generate the required jurisdiction report from the published inspection.
Why?
Jurisdiction reports are populated using information collected during the inspection.
Using the correct template helps ensure required observations, fields and photos are captured and mapped accurately into the jurisdiction report.
While supported jurisdiction reports can be generated from other inspection templates, using the intended template typically produces the most accurate results and reduces the need for manual corrections.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Choose the inspection template that matches the jurisdiction report you plan to generate.
Examples include:
- Texas inspection templates for TREC reports
- Florida Wind Mitigation templates for Wind Mitigation reports
- Florida 4-Point templates for 4-Point reports
2. Complete the inspection. Capture all required observations, findings and photos during the inspection.
3. Publish the inspectagram report.
4. From the published report, select Jurisdiction Reports from the top-right corner.
5. Click on the jurisdiction report you need to generate.
6. Review the information that has been populated into the jurisdiction report.
7. Edit any information that requires correction or additional detail.
8. Generate the final jurisdiction report, then download or share the completed document with your client.
Common Mistakes
- Using a general inspection template when a jurisdiction-specific template is available.
- Assuming jurisdiction reports automatically include every required field without reviewing the generated report.
- Forgetting to verify the information before generating the final document.
- Assuming all jurisdiction reports handle photos the same way.
- Failing to confirm additional reporting requirements from insurers, lenders or local authorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What jurisdiction reports does inspectagram support?
Inspectagram currently supports Texas TREC reports and Florida Wind Mitigation and 4-Point reports.
Can jurisdiction reports be generated from any inspection template?
Yes. Supported jurisdiction reports can be generated from other inspection templates. However, using the template designed for the jurisdiction report helps ensure the correct information and photos are collected and mapped as accurately as possible.
How does the TREC report work?
The TREC report is populated using inspection data and generated in the required TREC format. The report includes a link to the full inspectagram report.
Photos are not included in the TREC report because they are not required by TREC. Inspection photos remain within the full inspectagram report, which avoids duplicating information across multiple documents.
How do Wind Mitigation and 4-Point reports handle photos?
Wind Mitigation and 4-Point reports may require supporting photographs for insurance and underwriting purposes. The generated reports use photos collected during the inspection when required. Using the correct inspection template helps ensure the necessary photos are captured and included in the reporting workflow.
Does inspectagram generate Florida termite (WDO) reports?
No. Florida termite inspections require the FDACS-13645 form, which is a separate state-issued document. This form must be completed independently of the home inspection report.
