Turkey has a compulsory policy for homes and a voluntary insurance on top of it. In short: what they are and how to get them.
State earthquake insurance for homes. Its presence is checked for mortgages and property transactions (tapu), and when electricity and water are connected.
The limit depends on the size and type of the building and is indexed every month. The current amount is on the DASK website.
Village houses, wholly commercial or industrial buildings, buildings without a project or built in breach of regulations, and unsafe buildings ordered to be demolished. Voluntary earthquake insurance may be available for them.
A private insurer's policy. If your home is worth more than the DASK limit, the excess can be insured here; you can also insure belongings and temporary housing costs. Terms differ by company.
On the DASK website, in the “Poliçe Sorgulama” section: by ID number and policy number, by ID and district, or by address code.
A policy lasts one year. You can buy it from an insurance agent or at a bank branch. Renewing every year earns a discount.
Compare the amount above the DASK limit with the value of your home and belongings, and ask the insurer for its terms.
