Hidalgo County requires no short-term rental insurance in unincorporated areas, since it cannot license STRs. Any liability-coverage requirement would come only from a city ordinance; hosts should still carry adequate private coverage.
Hidalgo County does not mandate liability insurance, a minimum coverage amount, or proof of insurance for short-term rentals in unincorporated areas, and it has no authority to condition rental activity on carrying a policy. Insurance requirements for STRs, where they exist in Texas, are set by individual cities: McAllen regulates STRs under Code Chapter 46, Article VII, and any coverage or certificate-of-insurance requirement would appear in a municipal code rather than a county rule. Even without a mandate, operators are strongly advised to carry a short-term rental or commercial liability policy, since standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial rental activity. Platform host-protection coverage may supplement but rarely replaces a dedicated STR policy.
No county insurance penalty exists; city STR ordinances enforce any coverage requirement within their limits.
