Live Oak does not require short-term rental operators to carry specific commercial insurance, but homeowners should confirm coverage since standard HO-3 policies often exclude paid guest activity.
There is no Live Oak ordinance mandating liability insurance for short-term rentals, unlike some Texas cities that require $300,000 to $1,000,000 in coverage. Nevertheless, typical homeowner insurance policies exclude commercial or paid-guest use, leaving hosts exposed. Insurance professionals recommend either a landlord or dwelling fire policy with short-term rental endorsement, or a dedicated STR commercial policy with general liability and contents coverage. Platform protections such as Airbnb AirCover and Vrbo liability insurance apply only to platform-booked stays and have notable exclusions for pool incidents, guest belongings, and vehicle damage.
