Schaumburg, IL Business Licensing & Operations: Adult Entertainment (2026)

01 as any video of a sexual nature suggesting lewd thoughts and exciting sensual desires, generally catering to persons eighteen or older, including X-rated and full adult content. 02 makes it unlawful for anyone with knowledge of the content to sell, offer to sell, exhibit, give away, or otherwise furnish an adult material video to a person under eighteen. 03 requires physical separation within the business: the location, display, preview, exhibition or viewing of adult material videos must be confined to an area separate and apart from the rest of the business, restricted to persons eighteen or older, and any title, picture or display must be visible only from within that reserved area.

04 extends the age line to staffing, requiring that employees who sell, exhibit or rent adult material videos be at least eighteen, and allowing anyone younger on the premises only when an adult is present and never inside the adult material video area itself. 05 clarifies the chapter's scope: it does not bar display or sale of adult material videos that comply with these rules, but it does not authorize sale of material that is legally obscene, leaving obscenity itself governed by separate law. The chapter does not create a spacing or distance requirement between adult-material retailers; Schaumburg's ordinance regulates in-store handling and minors' access rather than site location.
