The City of Baton Rouge / East Baton Rouge Parish short-term rental rules do not require operators to carry a specific liability insurance policy. Hosts should still confirm coverage privately, as many platforms and mortgage or HOA agreements require it.
Baton Rouge's short-term rental requirements focus on tax registration, permitting for non-owner-occupied units, occupancy limits, parking, and the three-strike violation rule. They do not impose a mandatory short-term rental insurance requirement or a minimum liability coverage amount. Because the City-Parish sets no rule here, coverage is governed by private arrangements — booking-platform host protection programs, homeowner or landlord policies, and any HOA or lender requirements. Louisiana state law likewise does not mandate STR-specific insurance for operators.
No insurance-specific penalty exists in the City-Parish rules; enforcement of the STR ordinance runs through the three-strike loss-of-operation rule.
