Allen requires STR operators to carry short-term rental liability insurance of at least 500,000 dollars or equivalent platform-provided coverage (Airbnb AirCover, Vrbo Liability Insurance).
Standard homeowner policies typically exclude commercial rental use. Operators should obtain endorsement or dedicated STR policy from carriers such as Proper, Obie, or Slice. Proof of coverage must be submitted at registration and renewal. Platform-provided coverage can satisfy requirement but operators should confirm scope of pool, trampoline, and dog-related exclusions.
Operating without required insurance: registration suspension until proof supplied; civil exposure in event of injury claim.
