Ventura requires a $1,500 surety bond to activate an STVR license. The bond guarantees compliance with City regulations and may be forfeited for violations. Operators should also carry appropriate liability insurance as a condition of their permit.
Under SBMC Chapter 6.455, a $1,500 surety bond must be filed with the City of Ventura to activate the STVR license. The bond serves as financial guarantee of compliance with all applicable regulations. Alternatively, operators may submit a copy of the STVR lease agreement. The bond may be used to cover costs associated with violations, damages, or nuisance abatement. While the City requires the surety bond, operators are also encouraged to carry comprehensive liability insurance. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO provide some host protection but these should not substitute for independent coverage.
The surety bond may be partially or fully forfeited for violations of SBMC 6.455. If the bond is depleted, the operator must replenish it to maintain the STVR permit. Failure to maintain the bond results in permit suspension.
