Houston County sets $5 million minimum liability requirement for airport leases

Houston County Commissioners Court · March 10, 2026

Summary

The Commissioners voted to set the minimum liability insurance for all Houston County airport leases at $5,000,000 and require proof of that coverage annually at lease renewal; motion passed 5–0.

The Houston County Commissioners voted March 10 to require a minimum of $5,000,000 in liability insurance for all county airport leases and to require proof of coverage annually at lease renewal.

After discussion among the Court, Commissioner Gene Stokes moved to set the requirement at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and to require that proof of this coverage be provided annually to the County Auditor at lease renewal time. Commissioner Willie Kitchen seconded, and the motion carried 5 to 0.

The decision standardizes county expectations for airport tenants' insurance coverage; the minutes do not record any exemptions or phased-in implementation timeline. County staff will be responsible for verifying proof of coverage at each lease renewal.
