Mecklenburg County does not mandate a specific STR insurance limit, but standard homeowner policies typically exclude commercial rental activity. Operators should carry commercial STR liability of 1-2 million dollars and confirm smoke and CO detector compliance required by NCGS 143-138.
Airbnb Host Liability and Vrbo Liability Insurance provide 1 million dollars primary coverage per booking. Dedicated STR carriers (Proper, Slice, CBIZ) offer full-form replacement and loss of rental income. NC Department of Insurance recommends written confirmation from the insurer that short-term rental is permitted. HOAs within the county may impose higher COI requirements naming the HOA as additional insured.
