Full Breakdown

The City of Conroe does not maintain STR-specific insurance requirements since no local STR ordinance exists. Hosts should carry adequate homeowner or landlord insurance. Airbnb provides AirCover host liability coverage up to $1 million, and VRBO offers similar protections. Standard homeowner policies may not cover commercial rental activity, so hosts should verify their coverage. Texas state law does not mandate STR-specific liability insurance. Deed restrictions or HOA rules may require additional insurance for rental activities.

Violations & Fines

No local insurance violations. Hosting without adequate coverage is a financial risk, not a code violation.
