No county or state law mandates specific short-term-rental insurance. The county does not regulate STRs, and South Carolina sets no STR liability-coverage requirement. Hosts commonly carry commercial general liability coverage, but it is a business best practice, not a code mandate here.
Spartanburg County imposes no insurance requirement on short-term rentals because it does not regulate them through zoning, and South Carolina has no statewide STR insurance mandate. Standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial rental activity, so many hosts add short-term-rental or commercial general liability coverage, and platforms like Airbnb provide their own host protection—but these are risk-management choices rather than a Spartanburg ordinance. If you operate inside the City of Spartanburg as a business, confirm any coverage expectations tied to your business license or lease. Always verify with your insurer before hosting.
No insurance-related ordinance penalty applies in Spartanburg County; the real exposure is uncovered liability if a homeowner policy excludes rental activity.
