Is Homeowner’s Insurance Required by Law?

Homeowner’s insurance is not required by law in Arvada, CO. If you are purchasing your home through a bank, mortgage company, or other financial institution, they have the right to require that you purchase homeowner’s insurance during your loan period. This keeps their investment protected in case of damage or tragic events. You can speak with an Alliance Insurance Services representative to help you understand how much you should get in this case. 

Though it is not a legal requirement, it is important for home owners to truly consider it. There is a good chance that your home is your most high priced investment. Your home is also probably one of the most devastating things to lose. Insuring it should not necessarily be a question of whether or not it is required, but how devastated would you and your family be if you lost it. It is tempting to think that you will never need it, but think back to just a few years ago on the many devastated and displaced Colorado families who were victims of the wildfires. It is likely that they never thought such a thing would happen either. Even those who had homeowner’s insurance had nowhere near enough to cover the damages, possibly because they never assumed such a tragedy would occur.

Homeowner’s insurance is not a legal requirement in Arvada, CO, but it is well worth the consideration. Protecting your home from such a loss is important. If a tragedy does strike, you and your family should focus on the mourning and healing, not wonder what you will do no.
