Parma does not mandate STR-specific insurance, but standard homeowner policies typically exclude commercial lodging. Operators should carry commercial STR liability coverage of at least 1 million dollars.
Ohio law does not require STR operators to carry specific liability insurance, and Parma has no local insurance mandate. However, most standard homeowner policies exclude losses arising from commercial rental activity. Airbnb's Host Liability Insurance (AirCover) provides up to 1 million dollars in coverage but only for platform bookings. Industry best practice is a dedicated short-term rental policy with at least 1 million dollars per occurrence. Mortgage lenders and HOAs may also require specific coverage. Consult with a licensed Ohio insurance agent before listing.
