Oxnard requires short-term rental operators to maintain liability insurance covering the rental property. Proof of insurance must be provided with the STR permit application and maintained throughout the permit period.
Oxnard's STR permit process requires operators to demonstrate adequate liability insurance coverage for guest injuries and property damage. Most cities in Ventura County require minimum $500,000 to $1,000,000 in general liability coverage. Insurance certificates must name the City of Oxnard as an additional insured or certificate holder. Operators using platforms like Airbnb or Vrbo should verify that host protection insurance supplements but does not replace the city's local insurance requirement. Insurance must remain current for the full permit period with no gaps in coverage.
Failure to maintain required insurance may result in immediate STR permit suspension. Operating without valid insurance can result in fines and personal liability for guest injuries.
