Genesee County imposes no STR insurance mandate. Any liability-insurance requirement comes from a city or township permit condition, your platform (Airbnb/VRBO), or your mortgage/HOA. Standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial rental activity.
No Genesee County ordinance requires short-term rental hosts to carry a specific insurance policy. Where a city or township permits STRs, it may condition the permit on proof of liability coverage under its zoning authority (MCL 125.3201), so check your municipality. Independently, platforms like Airbnb provide host liability programs, but these are not a substitute for a landlord/short-term-rental policy. Hosts should confirm coverage with their insurer, because typical homeowner policies exclude business or commercial rental use, and a lender or homeowners association may separately require proof of insurance.
If a local permit requires insurance, failing to maintain it is enforced by the issuing city or township (permit suspension or revocation). The county imposes no insurance penalty on STRs.
