Pearl City short-term rental operators must carry at least $1 million in commercial general liability insurance and show proof to DPP at registration.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730, as amended by Bill 41 (Ord. 22-7), requires $1,000,000 minimum commercial general liability insurance, or homeowner's coverage with business liability. Military homeowners renting in Pearl City should verify that their policy explicitly permits short-term rental activity, as many standard military family housing insurance products exclude this use. Coverage protects against guest injury claims, property damage, and neighbor nuisance suits. Failure to maintain continuous coverage can void the STR registration and expose the homeowner to significant personal liability.
Lapsed coverage, policy that excludes STR activity, or submitting false proof of insurance at registration.
