Does Georgia law require condo unit owners to carry their own insurance?

Quick answer: No. Georgia has no state law that forces an individual condo owner to buy coverage. The Georgia Condominium Act (O.C.G.A. Section 44-3-70 through Section 44-3-117) lets associations mandate unit-owner coverage through the declaration and bylaws, and most Georgia associations do. Mortgage lenders also typically require it. So the requirement comes from your bylaws or your lender, not the state.
