Islip Town Code does not mandate a specific STR liability insurance minimum, but rental permit applications require owner contact information and most hosts carry commercial short-term rental liability coverage of at least 1 million dollars.
NY State does not statutorily require a set liability limit for STRs, unlike some other states. Standard NY homeowners policies typically exclude commercial transient rental activity, so hosts generally obtain a commercial STR policy, business owner policy, or a rider such as Proper Insurance or CBIZ. Airbnb Host Liability Insurance and Vrbo Liability Insurance provide up to 1 million dollar coverage but are secondary to the host policy. Mortgage lenders and condo associations in Fire Island co-ops may require proof of insurance as a condition of STR activity.
