Aurora STR hosts should carry liability insurance. The business license requires compliance with all applicable city codes including safety standards. Platforms like Airbnb provide host protection insurance but hosts should verify coverage.
Aurora's business license requirement for STR operators implies compliance with all applicable regulations including safety inspections. While the city does not mandate a specific insurance amount for STR hosts, operating a commercial activity from your home creates liability exposure. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO provide host protection insurance programs, but these have limitations. Hosts should consult their homeowner's insurance carrier about STR coverage, as many standard policies exclude commercial activities. An umbrella policy or dedicated STR insurance is recommended.
Operating without proper business license: fines up to $1,000/day. Liability for guest injuries falls on the property owner.
