Salem requires short-term rental operators to hold and maintain a current liability insurance policy for the property to keep the license in good standing. Unincorporated Marion County sets no STR insurance mandate.
As part of Salem's licensing, the City requires the operator to hold and maintain a current liability insurance policy covering the short-term rental or accessory short-term rental for the license to remain in good standing. Proof of insurance is a required application item, alongside the safety certification and floor and site plans. Coverage amounts should match the platform and lender requirements. Unincorporated Marion County does not impose a short-term rental insurance requirement, though owners are still wise to carry adequate liability coverage.
Letting the liability policy lapse puts the Salem license out of good standing and can lead to suspension until coverage is restored.
