Clayton County's short-term rental ordinance sets no liability-insurance requirement. Owners must hold a county permit and business license, but Article XII does not mandate a specific coverage amount.
Article XII of the Clayton County Code does not require short-term rental operators to carry liability insurance or name a minimum coverage figure. The county's mandatory conditions are the per-unit permit and building and fire code inspection (Section 22-901(c)), a valid county business license (Section 22-901(b)), on-lot parking (Section 22-901(d)), posting the noise ordinance (Section 22-901(e)), and the owner-occupancy tie in Section 22-900. Insurance is left to the owner, any mortgage or HOA terms, and the hosting platform. Georgia has no statewide STR insurance mandate either, so no state law fills the gap. Hosting platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo provide their own host liability programs, and operators are strongly encouraged to carry short-term-rental or commercial-grade coverage, but the county
There is no county penalty for lacking STR insurance because none is required. Enforcement under Sections 22-902 and 22-903 addresses operating without a permit or license and other article breaches, not insurance coverage.
