Tinley Park FAQ

How many nights can I Airbnb in Tinley Park per year?

Tinley Park does not authorize transient residential rentals, so the effective annual cap is zero for under-30-day stays at residential properties.

Is there a 30-day minimum stay in Tinley Park?

Functionally yes. Rentals of 30 days or more are treated as long-term leases outside the STR framework; stays under 30 days in residential zones are generally prohibited.

Could Tinley Park add an STR night cap later?

Possibly. If the Village adopts an STR licensing program, it could include annual night caps like other Chicago-area suburbs. Monitor Village Board actions for updates.
