Legally speaking, you do not need homeowners insurance if your mortgage is completely paid off, as lenders no longer mandate coverage to protect their financial investment. However, dropping insurance leaves your physical asset completely unprotected against catastrophic disasters like fires, severe storms, or major liability lawsuits, making self-insuring a massive financial gamble unless you possess substantial liquid wealth.
