Orland Park requires home occupations to comply with Land Development Code conditions and may require a home occupation acknowledgment or business registration depending on business type. The Development Services Department administers compliance. Most passive professional services do not require a Village license, but certain regulated trades do.
Orland Park's Land Development Code permits home occupations as accessory uses in residential districts subject to listed conditions. A home occupation acknowledgment may be required depending on business type, obtained through Development Services at Village Hall, 14700 South Ravinia Avenue. Regulated trades subject to the Village's business licensing chapter must obtain a business license before operating. Consultants, freelance writers, accountants, software developers, and similar professionals operating entirely remotely from their dwelling typically do not require a Village license but must still comply with home occupation zoning conditions. Home daycare operators must present DCFS licensing to the Village. Cottage food operators must present Cook County Health registration. The Village may review proposed home occupations for compliance with parking, floor area, and residential character requirements. Business license fees are modest and set by the Village's annual fee schedule. Operators in HOA subdivisions should also confirm compliance with private covenants, which may require board approval before commencing a home business.
Operating without a required license or home occupation acknowledgment may result in fines beginning at $75 per day from Orland Park Code Enforcement at (708) 403-6150. Operating in violation of zoning conditions may result in an order to cease. Repeated noncompliance may be referred to administrative adjudication.
