Orland Park does not have a formal annual night cap on short-term rentals because STR operation is not a permitted use in residential zones. Effectively, the cap is zero authorized rental nights in single-family neighborhoods, which dominate the Village.
Some municipalities allow homeowners to rent their primary residence for a limited number of nights per year (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 nights). Orland Park has not adopted such a policy. Instead, the Village's Land Development Code defines residential dwellings for occupancy of 30 days or longer, and lists hotel/motel uses only in commercial districts — leaving no authorized pathway for short-term residential rentals regardless of frequency. Operators relying on a 'I only rent it occasionally' defense remain subject to zoning enforcement and per-day fines whenever the Village substantiates a transient occupancy. HOA covenants in many subdivisions further restrict any rental activity beyond standard long-term leases.
There is no per-night cap framework. Each day of unpermitted short-term rental operation can be cited as a separate zoning violation with fines from $250 to $750 per day, plus parallel hotel tax liability for any nights operated.
