Des Plaines vacation rental operators must provide off-street parking sufficient for permitted occupancy and disclose available parking in their listing. On-street overnight parking is restricted citywide between 2 AM and 6 AM under Title 7 of the City Code, so guests parking overnight on the street face ticketing.
Des Plaines' vacation rental ordinance requires hosts to provide adequate off-street parking — typically one space per bedroom — and to clearly disclose parking availability in the listing. Citywide, on-street parking is prohibited between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM under Title 7 of the City Code, and STR guests parking on the street overnight will be ticketed. Permits for guest overnight parking are not generally available for short-term visitors. Recreational vehicles, trailers, and commercial vehicles may not be stored at vacation rentals. Snow-route parking restrictions during declared snow events trigger immediate ticketing and towing. Hosts who fail to disclose parking limits to guests may face violations under the vacation rental rules.
Overnight on-street parking tickets are typically $25 to $75. Snow-route violations can be $75 to $200 plus towing costs. Repeat parking-related complaints against an STR can contribute to license suspension and additional fines of $250 to $750.
