Lawrenceville does not mandate a specific STR insurance policy. Hosts should still carry commercial/STR liability coverage, as standard homeowner policies typically exclude rental activity.
Unlike some California and Florida beach cities, Lawrenceville has not adopted a minimum liability insurance requirement for short-term rentals. However, standard Georgia homeowner policies (HO-3) typically exclude or limit coverage for rental operations. Hosts should purchase an STR endorsement or a stand-alone commercial STR policy with at least $1M liability. Airbnb's Host Liability Insurance provides limited secondary coverage up to $1M but is not a substitute for a proper policy.
No direct city fine for lack of insurance; risk is personal liability exposure in tenant/guest lawsuits.
