Dublin does not mandate STR-specific insurance, but standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial rental activity. Hosts should carry a short-term rental endorsement or commercial liability policy of at least $1 million. Airbnb and Vrbo host protection plans are supplemental, not primary.
No Dublin ordinance requires STR insurance, but liability exposure is significant. Standard HO-3 homeowner policies generally exclude business or commercial rental use, meaning a guest injury could leave the host personally liable. Recommended coverage: short-term rental endorsement (offered by Allstate, Farmers, Proper Insurance, CBIZ), $1 million per occurrence liability, $2 million aggregate, contents coverage for theft or damage, and loss-of-use coverage. Airbnb AirCover and Vrbo Host Damage Protection do not replace primary insurance. Dublin HOAs may require proof of insurance if rentals are permitted under covenants.
No city citation for uninsured STR, but civil liability for guest injury can reach hundreds of thousands. Policy denial common if carrier learns of unreported commercial use.
