Illinois does not require homeowners insurance by law, but lenders do. With tornado, flood, and severe-storm exposure across the state, coverage is strongly recommended even for owners without a mortgage. If you have a mortgage on your Chicago home, your lender sets the minimum dwelling and liability coverage. A licensed agent can confirm the requirements for your loan.
Chicago’s mix of vintage greystones, frame two-flats, and high-rise condos means widely varying coverage needs, and the city’s combined-sewer system makes water/sewer backup endorsements especially valuable. On top of that, Illinois homeowners broadly contend with the following: Illinois homeowners face tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, damaging hail and straight-line winds (derechos), flooding along the Mississippi, Illinois, and Des Plaines rivers, harsh winters with snow and ice in the north, and occasional New Madrid earthquake exposure in the far south.
