Pinellas Park does not mandate STR-specific insurance, but Florida's vacation rental statute and Pinellas County Ordinance 25-15 require operators to maintain liability coverage adequate for transient lodging use, typically at least $1 million.
Pinellas Park's municipal code is silent on minimum STR insurance, so hosts default to Florida-level requirements and county rules. Pinellas County's Short-Term Rental Certificate of Use rules under Ordinance 25-15 require operators to carry liability insurance covering the use of the property as a vacation rental, with $1,000,000 commonly cited as the industry standard. Standard homeowner's policies often exclude transient rental activity, so hosts should obtain an endorsement, a dedicated short-term rental policy, or rely on platform-provided coverage like Airbnb's AirCover. Proof of coverage may be required when applying for any county certificate or DBPR licensing renewal.
Without adequate coverage, hosts face uninsured liability exposure, possible county Certificate of Use denial or revocation, and gaps in HOA or mortgage compliance.
