Unincorporated Lane County does not mandate short-term-rental liability insurance. Coverage is recommended and often required by hosting platforms and lenders, but no county ordinance sets a minimum policy for STRs. Cities may require proof of insurance.
There is no county code provision requiring a short-term rental operator to carry a specific liability insurance amount in unincorporated Lane County. In practice, standard homeowner policies frequently exclude commercial/short-term rental activity, so operators typically add a rider or a dedicated STR policy, and platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo provide their own host protection. Because the county's regulation focuses on zoning and the Transient Room Tax rather than a licensing checklist, insurance is a best practice, not a filed requirement. Incorporated cities' STR permit programs may require proof of a liability policy.
No county penalty for lacking STR insurance, but an uninsured claim could leave the operator personally liable; city STR permits may be denied without proof of coverage.
