Plant City has no local STR insurance mandate. Operators strongly advised to carry commercial short-term rental liability coverage ($500K-$1M) as standard homeowners policies typically exclude transient rental activity.
Neither Florida state law nor Plant City municipal code requires STR operators to carry specific liability insurance. However, standard homeowners insurance policies (HO-3) universally exclude or limit coverage for transient rental activity, leaving hosts personally liable for guest injuries and property damage. Industry best practice: $1 million commercial STR liability (Proper, Safely, CBIZ, Farmers). Airbnb provides AirCover up to $1M primary coverage, and Vrbo provides liability insurance up to $1M, but these do not cover property damage beyond host protection limits. Mortgage lenders increasingly require STR-specific coverage when they learn of transient use.
No direct violation (no mandate). However, uninsured loss from guest injury can exceed $500,000 and damage the operator financially.
