Fillmore may require short-term rental operators to carry liability insurance. Standard homeowner's insurance typically does not cover STR commercial activity. Platforms like Airbnb provide host protection insurance, but separate coverage is recommended.
Short-term rental hosts in Fillmore should carry adequate liability insurance covering their rental activity. Standard homeowner's insurance policies typically exclude commercial use including short-term rental hosting. Platforms like Airbnb offer Host Protection Insurance and Aircover, but these have limitations and should not be relied upon as sole coverage. Hosts are advised to obtain either a commercial liability policy or a specialized short-term rental insurance endorsement with at least $1,000,000 in general liability coverage. The city may require proof of insurance as part of any STR permit or registration process. Umbrella policies can provide additional protection. Property damage coverage for guest-caused damage is separate from liability insurance.
Operating without adequate insurance does not violate city code per se, but exposes the host to significant financial liability. The city may require proof of insurance as a condition of any STR permit.
