Lakewood rental dwelling license under Codified Ordinance 1333 requires proof of liability insurance. STR operators should carry at least $1,000,000 liability coverage and verify homeowners policy covers short-term rentals or obtain a commercial rider.
Lakewood C.O. 1333 requires liability insurance as a condition of rental licensure. Standard homeowners policies often exclude commercial short-term rental activity; operators should confirm with their carrier or obtain an STR-specific endorsement. Airbnb Host Protection and Vrbo Liability Insurance provide supplemental coverage up to $1M but do not replace primary insurance.
Lack of required insurance: grounds for rental license denial or revocation under C.O. 1333. Uninsured liability exposure in civil lawsuits.
