Schaumburg FAQ

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.

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.
