As pointed out by many previous responders, after Hurricane Andrew the wind mitigation requirements became part of the Florida Building Code in 2002. Your house built in 2009 should qualify for the insurance discounts for the roof to wall anchors.
Contact your insurance provider to confirm that you are getting the applicable discounts. It should be automatic based on year of construction in 2009. Just do a search on Wind Mitigations standards in Florida in 2002 and later for a discussion.
