Generally no. Homeowners insurance may be required by any creditor for whom your home has been put up as collateral on a debt. If there are no liens on your home there is no one requiring you insure it. That said, it is highly risky, financially, to fail to allow a home to be uninsured for even a day, unless the owner is so wealthy that the complete loss of that asset is inconsequential. A home policy can be bought relatively inexpensively if the homeowner will accept a large part of the risk by agreeing to a large deductible.

It is up to the homeowner to maintain the home in a condition that it can be insured.
