Ventura FAQ

How much is the STVR surety bond?

The required surety bond is $1,500, filed with the City of Ventura to activate your STVR license.

Do I need separate liability insurance for my STVR?

While the City requires the $1,500 surety bond, carrying separate liability insurance is strongly recommended. Platform-provided coverage (Airbnb, VRBO) may not cover all situations.

What happens if my surety bond is forfeited?

If the bond is depleted due to violations, you must replenish it to maintain your STVR permit. Failure to maintain the bond results in permit suspension.
