Montgomery County does not require short-term-rental insurance. Liability-insurance conditions, where they exist, are set by your borough or township and attached to the local STR permit or rental license. Hosts should also confirm coverage with their own insurer.
No county rule mandates short-term-rental liability insurance. Under the PA Municipalities Planning Code, municipalities may require proof of liability coverage as an STR permit condition — the 2025 PA study lists "liability insurance" among the items local ordinances address. The study also notes homeowners bear responsibility for what occurs on their property, driving the host liability-insurance market. Standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial short-term rental activity, so hosts commonly need a short-term rental or landlord endorsement. Check whether your borough or township requires a minimum coverage amount and proof of insurance at registration.
Operating without required proof of insurance violates the local STR ordinance and can result in denial, suspension, or revocation of the rental permit plus fines set by the municipality.
