Davis imposes no short-term-rental-specific insurance mandate in its municipal code. Hosts should carry appropriate liability coverage, but no city ordinance requires a minimum policy amount.
The Davis Municipal Code contains no adopted short-term rental ordinance and therefore sets no STR-specific insurance requirement, such as a mandated minimum liability policy. Any claim of a required coverage amount from third-party blogs or listing platforms is not supported by the Davis code and should be treated as unverified. That said, business-license, rental-registration, and tax obligations still apply, and prudent hosts typically carry homeowner or landlord liability insurance plus any coverage offered through a hosting platform to protect against guest injury or property damage. If the city adopts an STR ordinance in the future, insurance conditions could be added. Confirm current requirements with the city before assuming any insurance mandate exists.
There is no insurance-specific violation because no city mandate exists; the enforceable obligations remain the business license, rental registration, and 12% transient occupancy tax.
