Night Caps: Arlington Heights vs Schaumburg

How many nights can I rent my property as a short-term rental in Arlington Heights?

Arlington Heights does not impose an annual night cap. However, the primary concern is whether short-term rental use is authorized in your zoning district at all. Contact Community Development at (847) 368-5200.

Is there a 90-day or 180-day rental limit in Arlington Heights?

No. The village has not adopted annual night limits for short-term rentals. The relevant question is whether your property's zoning allows short-term rental activity.

Does renting fewer nights make it legal in a residential zone?

Not necessarily. Zoning compliance is based on the nature of the use, not the frequency. Even occasional short-term rental activity in a restricted residential zone could be considered a zoning violation.

Is there a maximum number of nights per year I can rent out my Schaumburg home?

No. Schaumburg's rental ordinance (Title 11, Chapter 123) does not set an annual night cap on short-term rentals, and Illinois has no statewide STR night limit. The Village instead controls volume through a per-stay rule: each rental must be at least 24 consecutive hours, and you cannot enter into more than one rental agreement for the same property within any 24-hour window. Confirm current rules with Code Enforcement at (847) 923-3700.

Can I do same-day turnovers on my Schaumburg Airbnb?

No. Schaumburg requires each short-term rental to last at least 24 consecutive hours, and hosts are prohibited from renting the same property more than once within any 24-hour period. That effectively eliminates same-day turnovers and hourly or 'event' bookings, even though there is no annual cap on total nights.
