Ulster County towns generally require $500K to $1M commercial liability insurance naming the municipality as additional insured for STR permits.
Woodstock Town Code Chapter 140 requires STR operators to carry commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and provide a certificate of insurance to the town at permit issuance and renewal. Saugerties and Shandaken require similar $500K-$1M coverage. Homeowner policies typically exclude short-term rental activity, so a commercial rider or dedicated STR policy (Proper, Slice, CBIZ) is required. Platforms like Airbnb provide host protection but this does not satisfy the town certificate requirement.
