Kaneohe STR operators must maintain at least $1 million in commercial general liability insurance or an endorsed homeowner's policy with equivalent limits, with proof filed at registration.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730 requires proof of $1,000,000 CGL or equivalent endorsed HO insurance. Many homeowner's policies exclude short-term rental activity, so hosts typically need a dedicated STR rider. Waterfront properties near Kaneohe Bay may face higher premiums due to flood and water-activity exposure, especially listings offering kayak or paddleboard access. Insurance must be active for the full registration year; any lapse voids the registration. Platform coverage alone does not satisfy the owner's obligation under this section.
Operating without valid coverage voids registration, exposes the owner to personal liability, and incurs daily fines.
