STR guests in Skokie must follow standard residential parking rules, including off-street parking requirements, overnight parking restrictions, and the prohibition on parking on unpaved surfaces. The STR pilot ordinance allows the Village to require a parking plan as a license condition.
Because Skokie's STR pilot requires a Village-approved license, operators may be asked to document parking capacity and provide a parking plan for guests. The zoning code requires single-family homes to maintain at least two off-street parking spaces (driveway or garage). On-street parking in Skokie is subject to overnight parking restrictions (2:00 AM–6:00 AM without a permit on many residential streets), and vehicles may not park on front lawns, sidewalks, or unpaved surfaces. Operators should clearly communicate parking rules to guests at booking. Report parking violations to Skokie PD at (847) 982-5900.
Parking citations carry fines of $25 to $75 per occurrence. Vehicles on unpaved surfaces or blocking sidewalks may be towed at the owner's expense. Chronic parking issues at an STR can contribute to license review.
