Scott County cities don't broadly mandate short-term rental insurance, but it's strongly advised. Standard homeowner policies often exclude rental activity, and platform coverage may not fill the gap.
Most Scott County cities don't require proof of liability insurance to operate a short-term rental, though cities adding STR licensing may ask for it at application or renewal. Regardless of local rules, insurance matters: a standard homeowner policy often excludes commercial rental activity, so a claim from a guest injury could be denied. Hosts usually need a short-term rental endorsement or a separate commercial policy. Platform programs like Airbnb's host protection help but may not fully cover you. Typical recommended coverage runs $500,000 to $1 million.
Where insurance is required, operating without it can mean permit denial or revocation. Without coverage, an uninsured guest claim falls on the host personally.
