Delray Beach requires STR operators to carry commercial liability insurance of at least 1,000,000 dollars per occurrence naming the city as a certificate holder under Ch. 118. Proof must be submitted at registration.
The city vacation rental ordinance (Ch. 118) requires a Certificate of Insurance showing 1,000,000 dollars commercial general liability coverage. Airbnb Host Protection and Vrbo Liability Insurance count if the certificate names the property address and the City of Delray Beach as additional certificate holder. Homeowner policies typically exclude short-term rental activity so a commercial endorsement or landlord/STR policy is required. Flood insurance is separately recommended given the coastal location.
Registration cannot be issued or renewed without valid proof of coverage. Operating lapsed: treated as unregistered operation (500-5,000 dollars).
