Oceanside STR operators must maintain adequate liability insurance under Chapter 24. Property owners should verify that their insurance covers short-term rental activities. Platform host protection programs may not fully substitute for owner's insurance.
Chapter 24 of the Oceanside Code of Ordinances requires STR permit holders to maintain compliance with all applicable codes and safety requirements, including adequate liability insurance coverage. Standard homeowners insurance often excludes short-term rental activities. STR operators should obtain specialized STR insurance or a policy endorsement covering rental activities. The California Department of Insurance recommends at least $1 million in liability coverage for STR operations. Platform host protection programs (Airbnb, VRBO) provide some coverage but may not fully protect the property owner. Insurance documentation may be required during the permit application or renewal process.
Operating without adequate insurance may jeopardize the STR permit status.
