Osceola County does not set a specific short-term-rental insurance mandate; Florida preempts vacation-rental licensing to the state (FS 509.032(7)). Owners should carry commercial/short-term-rental liability coverage, and life-safety items are verified at the county's rental inspection.
No Osceola County ordinance imposes a fixed liability-insurance amount for vacation rentals, and the state preemption limits how far the county can go on licensing conditions. In practice the county's license inspection focuses on Florida Building Code and Fire Prevention Code life-safety items (smoke and CO detectors, extinguishers, egress), while insurance is a commercial decision for the owner. Standard homeowner policies often exclude transient rental use, so operators typically add a short-term-rental or commercial liability policy. Confirm current requirements with Osceola County Development Services and the Tax Collector.
There is no county insurance-specific penalty, but failing required life-safety inspection items can block or revoke the short-term-rental license.
