Bill 108 does not impose a specific liability-insurance minimum on Hawai'i County STVRs. It does require that every print and internet advertisement, including listings with a rental service or real estate firm, display the STVR Registration Number (and NUC Number if issued).
The Hawai'i County STVR ordinance (18-114) sets no dedicated insurance-coverage mandate; standard homeowner/landlord liability coverage is a private matter, though condo regimes and lenders often require it. The ordinance does impose a strict advertising-transparency rule: "All print and internet advertising of STVRs, including listings with a rental service or real estate firm, shall include the STVR Registration Number. The Nonconforming Use Certificate Number shall also be included, if one has been issued." The registration certificate and reachable-person contact must also be posted on the back of the front door of all sleeping quarters, and a current NUC displayed conspicuously on the premises.
Advertising a STVR without its Registration Number (or required NUC Number) violates the STVR Standards and is a common basis for Planning Department enforcement and citation.
