That depends.

Most states require that homeowner policies include workers comp coverage. It is intended to cover household employees, such as a maid or nanny.

Regardless of whether or not you need the coverage, if your state department of insurance requires it be on the policy then you cannot have it removed. Call your agent to see if it's a state requirement or something they simply chose to add on.

Check the state laws in where the sole proprietor is being operated. It changes from state to state. For example in California requires workers' compensation if there is one employee.

In Texas workers' compensation is not required at all, but the state does require the employer to post a sign stating that workers' compensation will not be provided.

If there are no employees in the business, there is no need for workers compensation. However, handymen, landscapers and other part time contractors may be considered employees and need to be covered. The defining factors between an independent contractors (do not need to be covered under workers compensation) and employees (do need to be covered under workers compensation), has a lot to do with them having a contractors license, insurance, workers compensation for their employees, etc. If you are unsure, it is best to disclose the possible employees to the insurance company and let them decide if they need to be included or not.
