Tinley Park does not set an annual night cap for short-term rentals because STRs are not authorized as a residential use. Any rental of fewer than 30 days is generally prohibited outside commercial hotel/motel zones, effectively functioning as a zero-night cap for residential properties.
Some Chicago-area municipalities limit STR activity to a set number of nights per year to preserve residential character. Tinley Park takes a stricter baseline approach: rentals of fewer than 30 consecutive days are not listed as a permitted residential use in the Zoning Ordinance, so the practical annual cap for a residential property is zero transient-lodging nights. Rentals of 30 days or more are treated as long-term leases and are not subject to the STR framework. If Tinley Park adopts an STR program in the future, a night cap could be introduced — hosts should monitor Village Board actions and confirm current rules with Community Development at (708) 444-5100 before listing.
Operating transient rentals in a residential zone is a zoning violation subject to fines of $250 to $750 per day of violation. Administrative adjudication and injunctive action may follow continued non-compliance.
