Ohio insurance requirements
Home insurance
While home insurance isn’t required by law in Ohio, most mortgage lenders require insurance to finance your home. A standard homeowners insurance policy usually includes:
- Structural coverage — Also known as dwelling coverage, structural coverage protects the primary physical structure of your home.
- Personal property coverage — This coverage will help replace belongings such as furniture and electronics in the event of a covered loss.
- Liability coverage — Personal liability coverage protects against medical and legal fees incurred by guests and visitors injured at your home.
- Additional living expenses — Home insurance generally pays for living expenses — like a hotel or rent — if you’re displaced from your home after a covered event.
Car insurance
Like many other states, Ohio requires car insurance to drive a vehicle. Ohio drivers must provide proof of insurance when accidents occur and during traffic violations.
There are also minimum coverage requirements in Ohio, specifically for liability coverage. Liability coverage protects you if you are found to be at fault in an accident. It typically covers damage to objects and other vehicles besides your own (known as property damage liability), and injuries to other drivers and passengers they have in their car (known as bodily injury liability).
Minimum bodily injury requirements
- $25,000 per person
- $50,000 per accident
Minimum property damage requirements
- $25,000 per accident
Additionally, there are optional auto insurance coverages which can provide more complete protection. Learn more about auto insurance coverage here.
