Prince William County does not mandate short-term rental liability insurance. Hosts should carry commercial or STR-endorsed coverage voluntarily, since standard homeowner policies often exclude paid guest activity; platform coverage may be secondary only.
No county ordinance requires an operator to carry a minimum liability policy for short-term rentals. Because the county has no STR permit program, there is no proof-of-insurance filing. However, typical homeowners' policies exclude or limit coverage for commercial lodging activity, so hosts are strongly advised to obtain a short-term rental endorsement or a commercial policy. Platform-provided host protection (for example, from Airbnb or VRBO) is generally secondary and does not replace a proper policy. Mortgage lenders and HOA covenants may separately require specific coverage.
No county penalty for lacking insurance; an uninsured host bears full personal liability for guest injuries or property damage.
