York County requires no short-term-rental insurance. Any liability-coverage requirement is set by your borough or township ordinance; otherwise coverage is a matter of your policy and platform.
York County imposes no insurance requirement on short-term rentals. Where a coverage requirement exists, it is written into a municipality's STR ordinance under the PA Municipalities Planning Code, commonly requiring a minimum general-liability policy naming the property. Pennsylvania has no statewide STR insurance mandate either. Practically, most standard homeowner policies exclude commercial short-term-rental activity, so hosts rely on platform-provided host protection (for example, Airbnb's AirCover) plus a commercial or endorsement policy. Confirm whether your borough or township requires proof of liability insurance, and verify with your insurer that STR use is actually covered before hosting.
If a municipality requires insurance, failing to maintain or prove it can block or revoke the local STR permit; uninsured claims otherwise fall on the host personally.
