Do you need home insurance in Illinois?

While home insurance is not required under the law in Illinois, you will want to obtain a policy anyway. If you owe a mortgage on your home, you will more than likely be required to have a policy but a homeowner’s insurance policy will provide you with the protection and peace of mind you and your family deserve.

Homeowners insurance is a type of coverage that will help you to replace or repair your house or its contents if an event occurs in which they are damaged. It will also provide coverage if someone who is visiting your home is injured somehow.

The amount of home insurance you will need to obtain is determined by the value of your home and its contents. One of our knowledgeable agents at the Martin Insurance Team can assist you in determining the amount of coverage you need by assessing how much your home is worth and how much it would cost to replace your belongings, appliances, furniture, and other items if they are destroyed or damaged.

A homeowner’s insurance policy will cover your entire house and property and other buildings and structures that are located on your property, such as a garage or shed. It will also cover your personal belongings, and liability for damages or injuries to a person or their property while visiting you at your home. A home insurance policy will cover damages caused by a fire, vandalism, or a natural disaster, such as high winds or a hail storm. It will also replace your items if your home is broken into and they are stolen. You can also opt for additional coverage for incidents, such as floods or earthquakes.
