Polarity of a molecule is not related to whether or not a molecule is organic or inorganic. A polar molecule is a molecule that has a slightly negative charge on one portion and a slightly positive charge on another portion; a nonpolar molecule is a molecule that is balanced and neutral throughout.

An example of a polar inorganic molecule is water (H2O) - there is a slight positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. An example of a nonpolar inorganic molecule is carbon dioxide (CO2) - this molecule is neutral throughout. An example of a polar organic molecule is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) - there is a slight negative charge around the hydroxyl group. An example of a nonpolar organic molecule is octane (one of the components of gasoline) - this molecule is neutral throughout.

The single biggest criteria for an organic compound is that it is based on carbon compounds. Water contains only hydrogen and oxygen. It is therefore an inorganic material.
