Macomb County does not mandate liability insurance for short-term rentals. Any insurance requirement is set by the individual city or township, and hosts are strongly advised to carry commercial or STR-specific coverage regardless.
No county ordinance in Macomb County requires an STR operator to carry liability insurance. Insurance mandates, where they exist, are imposed by cities or townships that license STRs — some require proof of a general liability policy (commonly $500,000 to $1,000,000) as a license condition. Michigan sets no statewide STR insurance requirement. Because a standard homeowner's policy often excludes commercial rental activity, hosts are strongly encouraged to obtain a commercial or STR endorsement, or a dedicated STR policy, to cover guest injuries and property damage. Platforms like Airbnb (AirCover) and Vrbo provide host protection, but that coverage is typically secondary and may not satisfy a local primary-policy requirement. Confirm any required coverage amount with your municipality before hosting.
There is no county insurance violation. Where a municipality requires proof of coverage, failing to maintain the mandated policy is grounds for denial or revocation of the local license; uninsured operators also face full personal liability for guest injury claims.
