Fresno County STR permits require proof of $1 million commercial liability insurance or platform-provided equivalent (Airbnb AirCover / Vrbo Liability).
Under the 2020 STR Ordinance application, operators must submit a certificate of insurance showing $1 million general liability covering short-term rental activity. Airbnb's Host Liability Insurance ($1M) and Vrbo Liability Insurance generally satisfy this requirement if the property is actively listed. Homeowner's policies often exclude STR activity.
Lapsed insurance: permit suspension until proof provided. Operating during suspension: $1,000/day fine.
