Hillsborough County STR registration requires proof of 1 million liability insurance OR platform coverage (Airbnb Host Protection, Vrbo Liability Insurance). Standard homeowner policies typically exclude commercial rental activity.
County ordinance requires STR operators to carry commercial liability coverage of at least 1 million or demonstrate equivalent platform coverage. FL statute does not mandate STR insurance statewide but platforms require hosts to attest to coverage. Standard HO-3 homeowner policies exclude business use; endorsement or dedicated STR policy (Proper, Slice, CBIZ) recommended. Proof must be provided at registration and annually.
No proof of insurance: registration suspended until compliance. Operating without coverage: 500 fine plus liability exposure.
