If you own the home, with no mortgage on it, no, you do not have to have insurance. That said, it is very ill advised to not have insurance. When buying a home, insurance is generally required so that in case of any loss, the financial institution that holds the mortgage note is protected from loss should the house be damaged or destroyed.
