Sacramento County STR permit applicants must show proof of liability insurance, typically 1 million dollars minimum, per Zoning Code 3.10 permit conditions.
Sacramento County STR Zoning Code Chapter 3.10 requires applicants to carry general liability insurance covering short-term rental activity. Minimum coverage is typically 1 million dollars per occurrence. Platform-provided host protection (such as Airbnb AirCover) may satisfy this requirement if coverage limits meet county thresholds. Standard homeowners policies often exclude short-term rental activity, requiring a dedicated STR policy or rider. Proof of insurance must be submitted with application and maintained during permit term.
Lack of insurance: permit denial or revocation. Operating without required coverage is grounds for immediate suspension.
