City does not mandate specific STR insurance but strongly recommended; Airbnb/Vrbo provide host protection programs.
West Valley City does not require short-term rental hosts to carry a minimum liability insurance policy as a condition of a business license. However, standard homeowner policies typically exclude commercial rental activity, so hosts should carry a landlord/short-term rental endorsement or commercial policy with at least $1 million liability. Airbnb AirCover and Vrbo Liability Insurance provide supplemental coverage.
