Galloway's code does not require a specific short-term-rental insurance policy. Standard landlord/homeowner liability coverage is a practical necessity, and marketplaces like Airbnb may provide supplemental host protection.
The township ordinances do not set a minimum liability-insurance requirement tied to short-term rentals. Chapter 276 governs registration and inspection, not insurance. Hosts are nonetheless strongly advised to carry appropriate landlord or short-term-rental liability coverage, since standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial rental activity. Platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO offer their own host liability programs, but these may not replace a dedicated policy. Confirm coverage with your insurer before listing, and keep proof available if the township or a mortgage lender requests it.
No local insurance-related penalty exists; the risk is financial exposure from uninsured claims rather than a code violation.
