No. If there are no mortgage requirements that you carry insurance then it is completely up to the home owner.
Yes. If you pay cash for your house then you do not have to buy insurance. The only time you have to buy insurance on a house is if you take out a mortgage, the lender will probably require you to have insurance. That is in case the place burns down, it protects the banks collateral.
No. You are being reimbursed for a loss. It would be like if you lost your wallet and someone returned it, you don't pay taxes on the cash you got back.
if you paid cash for the house do you need homeowners insurance
no
Pay cash.
All of them do.
It depends on the type of policy your purchased. If you bought replacement coverage the Insurance Company will pay to rebuild the home to a like or similar condition. If you purchased ACV coverage or do not wish to rebuild then they will pay you the depreciated cash value of the home. Homeowners Insurance does not pay for land.
You can pay your insurance premiums in many ways. Usually, you can pay it with a company plan (if you work), through cash, or credit card.
No.
I would cash the check and make payments to them directly.
Pay cash or check with the money you saved by not buying insurance. Insurance companies only pay out about one dollar for every three dollars they take in.
Congratulations for having the cash to buy your car. Will you also have the cash to pay for the $80,000 car that you hit and total in an accident that is your fault? Do you also have the cash to pay the $400,000 judgement that is awarded to the other party for injuries, lost work pay, and medical expenses. These are not unrealistic figures on losses. This is why you have insurance. It is an exchange of risk for premiums. This lowers your financial risk of loss but of course you have to pay some premium for the insurance company accepting the risk.
