What happens if you cancel your homeowners insurance if you have your home paid off?
Are there places where the towns require you to maintain insurance? Of course, if you had a catastrophe, you would have to fund it with your own money.....
Additional Details
I have had homeowners insurance for over 33 years and never collected on anything. Seems a waste of money. I have paid at least $7000 that I could have had in my pocket? Seems like every time I turn around it goes higher and higher. I am on a fixed income and commodities that the insurance speculators are helping to bid up are affecting my food prices. It is getting scary. I am thinking about cutting back ...and taking my licks if something happens....

Maybe if these big businesses can see that we don't like paying the rediculous prices for our commodities, our food and such and maybe if we just stop paying on things we don't need, they will cut this out!

No, nothing happens. I've never heard of a law that requires homeowners insurance.

If the house burns down, nothing happens. If it gets broken into, nothing happens. If someone gets hurt on your property - YOU write the check.

I think it's STUPID to not have homeowners insurance - not from the property point of view, but the liability point of view. The property loss is limited to the value of your house and contents. There's no limit to a potential liability loss - you'll lose the house, and can STILL have your wages attached until you're dead, for a serious loss.

The only people that would require you to have HO insurance is your mortgage company. It would be VERY dumb to cancel it just because it's paid off. What if it burnt to the ground? You'd be SOL

HI,Well, Well,you answered your own question.


wizard
Essentially that means that you are willing to totally self insure your home. No help, period. Your not required to maintain a policy if your home is paid in full... people are required when they have a mortgage.


Monica
You should keep your insurance and find other ways to cut back in your budget.

Your final question does not make sense?? Why would insurance companies want to damage property on purpose to PAY OUT claims? They make more profit when nothing happens.


Gambit
I have never seen any by-law or municipal statute that required a Homeowner to carry Homeowner's insurance. Most municipalities have some sort of by-law that states if a home is damaged beyond 'x'% then the entire structure must be demolished. So if your local by-law states a home must be demolished if 75% of the home is damaged (i.e. by fire) then the local by-law would force you to pay to have the rest of the building demolished and the debris removed. If you failed to do so the municipality may do so and send you the bill. Fail to pay the bill and they will seize the land. Of course if you had insurance, and assuming the loss is covered, insurance would pay for the demolition and debris removal and rebuild the house.

Nothing happens except, as you say, you assume responsibility for paying for any damage to your house. It is a calculated risk. The trouble is, if you home is badly damaged, you will likely lose so much equity that you will not be able to use it as collateral for a loan. You also will not be able to sell it in damaged condition. That leaves you with the option of living in a damaged home (if it is still safe) or paying for repairs out of pocket.

Wise comments including the one on cutting back...here in Florida works tike this. for a 1400s.f. house now the state insurance Citizens wants for 2012 $3600.00 a year with a $2500.00 deductible 3% to any hurricane claim and by law 25% increases till 2016 ..since the are waiting for the BIG ONE !!!! Now do the number if the big one hits or until then if ever ...before you can get a dime you are in the hole (1). number of years paid, in 5 years we are only looking at minimal $40,000.00 less depreciation and by 2016 if your house is worth over $500,000.00 they will not insure you !!!! What a racket....remember the land never goes away and you always have value there. My choice is simpler no insurance its cheaper to write the check for repairs $7000.00 a year
