Alabama sets no short-term rental insurance mandate, and unincorporated Madison County requires none. Coverage is a private matter: platform host protection plus a landlord or STR policy, since homeowner policies exclude rental activity.
No statute or Madison County rule requires a short-term rental host to carry a set amount of liability insurance. Alabama imposes no STR coverage floor, and the county attaches none to its business license for Hazel Green, Meridianville, or Harvest. Coverage is left to the host and the platform. Airbnb and Vrbo include host liability protection on bookings made through them, but that lapses on direct bookings. Standard homeowner policies exclude commercial rental use, so hosts add a landlord or dedicated short-term-rental policy. Cities and mortgage lenders may set their own coverage conditions.
No insurance penalty exists. A host who carries none and relies on an excluded homeowner policy risks personal liability for any guest injury or property claim.
