Tinley Park does not set an STR-specific occupancy cap because STRs are not an authorized residential use. General occupancy limits under the International Property Maintenance Code and the Village's housing rules cap sleeping-room density for all dwellings, regardless of rental status.
Because Tinley Park has not adopted an STR program, there is no dedicated STR occupancy cap. Instead, general housing occupancy rules apply: bedrooms used for sleeping must meet the minimum floor area thresholds in the adopted International Property Maintenance Code (typically 70 square feet for the first occupant and 50 square feet for each additional occupant), and a dwelling cannot be overcrowded beyond the habitable-space limits. These standards indirectly cap how many guests a residence can legally house. Fire Code egress requirements also apply — sleeping rooms must have code-compliant egress windows. Contact Tinley Park Community Development at (708) 444-5100 for property-maintenance inspections.
Overcrowding violations carry property-maintenance fines of $100 to $500 per occurrence and can trigger re-inspection orders. If combined with an unauthorized STR use, zoning fines of $250 to $750 per day may also apply.
