Carson does not impose any STR-specific insurance requirement — the Municipal Code (eCode360 CA4377) contains no STR chapter mandating liability coverage. No California state statute compels STR-host liability insurance for single-family rentals either. Hosts typically rely on platform-provided host protection (Airbnb's AirCover, Vrbo's Liability Insurance) and their own homeowner's or landlord policy.
Without a Carson STR ordinance there is no minimum liability limit, additional-insured requirement, or certificate-of-insurance filing required by the city. Hosts should still confirm coverage with their personal insurer because most standard homeowner's policies exclude commercial/short-term rental activity; a landlord policy or commercial rider may be required. Where a unit is in a condominium or HOA, CC&Rs may impose insurance obligations independent of city rules. California Civ. Code §4745 (HOA EV right-to-charge) and §714 (solar override) are not insurance-related but illustrate that state preemption focuses on access rights, not insurance.
There are no city insurance-related violations. Uninsured incidents become a private liability matter between guest, host, and the host's insurer.
