Burlington County does not require short-term rental insurance. Any liability-insurance requirement is a municipal ordinance choice. Hosts should still confirm their homeowner or landlord policy covers short-term rental use, since standard policies often exclude it.
There is no Burlington County or New Jersey statewide short-term rental insurance mandate. If liability coverage is required, it comes from your municipality's STR ordinance adopted under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D); some New Jersey towns require hosts to carry a minimum general-liability policy (commonly $500,000 to $1,000,000) and name the town or provide proof at license renewal. Independent of any ordinance, a practical risk exists: standard homeowner policies often exclude business or transient-rental use, so hosts typically need a short-term-rental endorsement, a landlord policy, or the coverage a marketplace like Airbnb provides. Burlington County plays no role in setting or verifying insurance — that is the municipality's and the host's responsibility.
Where a municipality requires proof of insurance, failing to carry or show it can bar or revoke the local STR license. There is no county insurance penalty; an uninsured host also risks denied claims and personal liability.
