Arlington Heights does not impose annual night caps or limits on the number of nights a property can be rented as a short-term rental. There is no village ordinance restricting how many days per year a residential property may be used for transient accommodations. However, since short-term rentals face zoning restrictions in residential districts, operating at any volume may raise zoning compliance questions.
Arlington Heights has no ordinance establishing a maximum number of rental nights per year for short-term rental properties. Some municipalities limit short-term rentals to 90, 120, or 180 nights per year, but Arlington Heights has not adopted such a cap. However, because short-term rental use is not explicitly permitted in most residential zoning districts, the question of night caps is somewhat secondary — the underlying zoning compliance question is whether the rental activity is authorized at all. Properties in commercial or mixed-use districts may have different allowances. Hosts considering short-term rental operations should first confirm zoning compliance with the Community Development Department at (847) 368-5200 before focusing on rental volume limits.
Since no night cap exists, there is no specific violation for exceeding a rental night limit. However, any unauthorized short-term rental activity in a residential zone remains a potential zoning violation regardless of the number of nights. Contact Community Development at (847) 368-5200.
