Registration Rules: Schaumburg vs Tinley Park

Do I need a license to run an Airbnb in Schaumburg?

Yes. Title 11, Chapter 123 of the Schaumburg Village Code requires a Village rental license for any leased or rented residential property, and short-term rentals are explicitly included. You apply to the Code Enforcement Division, complete the Crime Free Housing seminar, and pay roughly $100 per year for a single-family STR. Licenses expire December 31 and must be renewed annually. Call (847) 923-3700 to confirm current requirements.

How often is my Schaumburg short-term rental inspected?

Short-term rentals are inspected annually by Village Code Enforcement, which is more frequent than the every-three-years cycle for ordinary single-family rentals. The interior inspection verifies basic life-safety items (smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, egress, electrical condition) before the license is issued or renewed.

How do I register an STR in Tinley Park IL?

There is no STR registration program. Short-term transient rentals are not an authorized residential use, and no pathway currently exists to license a residential property as an STR.

Can I report an unregistered Airbnb in Tinley Park?

Yes. Call Village Hall at (708) 444-5000 to report a suspected unauthorized STR. Code Enforcement investigates and can issue zoning citations.

Will Tinley Park start an STR registry?

Not as of 2026. Any future program would be adopted by Village Board ordinance. Hosts should confirm current rules with Community Development before listing.
