Orland Park applies the International Property Maintenance Code occupancy standards: 70 sq ft minimum for the first occupant in a sleeping room and 50 sq ft per additional person. Combined with the Village's effective ban on STRs in residential zones, party-house operations are heavily restricted.
The Village adopts the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), which sets sleeping room occupancy at a minimum of 70 square feet for the first occupant and 50 square feet for each additional occupant. A typical Orland Park 4-bedroom single-family home thus maxes out at approximately 8–10 occupants under the code, regardless of marketing claims on Airbnb or Vrbo. Because short-term rentals are not a permitted use in residential districts, the Village can layer occupancy violations on top of zoning citations against operators marketing to large groups. HOA covenants in many subdivisions further restrict rental occupancy. Contact the Building Division at (708) 403-6100 for occupancy determinations on specific properties.
Occupancy violations under the IPMC carry fines of $100 to $500 per occurrence per day. When combined with zoning violations for unpermitted STR operation, total daily liability for an oversized party rental can exceed $1,200.
