Stark County and Ohio do not require short-term-rental hosts to carry a specific insurance policy. A city or township could require proof of liability coverage as a zoning or registration condition, so check locally; regardless, hosts should verify their coverage independently of platform protection.
No Stark County ordinance and no Ohio statute mandate a set amount of STR liability insurance. Some Ohio jurisdictions ask for proof of liability coverage when a host registers or applies for zoning approval, but this is a local requirement, not a county or state one. Canton's non-owner-occupied registration focuses on code inspection and identifying the owner rather than mandating a coverage limit. Standard homeowner policies often exclude commercial short-term-rental activity, and platform host guarantees are limited, so hosts typically add a short-term-rental or landlord policy. Confirm requirements with your specific municipality or township before listing.
Where a local ordinance requires proof of insurance and it is not provided, the city or township can withhold or revoke registration or zoning approval for the rental.
