No St. Lucie County, Port St. Lucie, or Florida state law mandates a specific short-term-rental insurance policy. Owners are strongly advised to carry commercial/STR liability coverage, and platforms like Airbnb add host protection, but coverage is not a licensing condition.
Florida's DBPR vacation-rental licensing does not require proof of insurance, and neither Port St. Lucie nor unincorporated St. Lucie County conditions rental on a policy. Standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial short-term rental activity, so owners typically add a commercial or short-term-rental liability endorsement. Airbnb's AirCover and Vrbo's liability program provide supplemental host protection, but these do not replace an owner's own coverage. Fort Pierce and St. Lucie Village registration programs focus on registration, responsible party, and safety rather than mandatory insurance minimums.
No fine exists for lacking STR insurance; the practical risk is uncovered liability, as a homeowner policy may deny claims arising from commercial rental use.
