Neither Florida nor Sunrise requires short-term-rental hosts to carry insurance. Coverage is driven by mortgage lenders, HOA or CDD covenants, and booking platforms rather than any city ordinance.
Florida law and the City of Sunrise impose no insurance mandate on vacation-rental hosts; the city's business tax receipt and the state DBPR license require no proof of coverage. Insurance is a private decision. Mortgage lenders often require it, HOA and CDD covenants in Sunrise communities may demand liability limits, and Airbnb and Vrbo bundle host protection that does not replace a standalone policy. Standard Florida homeowner policies frequently exclude commercial rental activity, so hosts commonly add a short-term-rental endorsement or a commercial lodging policy, especially given South Florida's wind and flood exposure.
No city penalty applies for operating uninsured. The risk is financial: an uncovered liability claim, a lender default, or HOA enforcement can each follow a loss at an unprotected rental.
