Tinley Park does not operate an STR registration program because short-term rentals are not an authorized residential use. There is no application, inspection, or registry — residential properties simply cannot be licensed as transient lodging under current zoning.
Unlike municipalities that have adopted registration or licensing programs to regulate Airbnb and VRBO, Tinley Park has not established such a program as of 2026. The Village's Zoning Ordinance does not list short-term transient rentals as a permitted residential use, so there is no pathway for a residential property owner to register as an STR operator. The Village continues to license hotels and motels in designated commercial districts separately. Operators who list a Tinley Park residence on an STR platform do so without Village authorization and are subject to zoning enforcement. Residents concerned about nearby listings can report them to Code Enforcement through Village Hall at (708) 444-5000, and hosts should contact Community Development at (708) 444-5100 for current rules before listing.
Operating an unregistered, unauthorized STR in a residential zone is a zoning violation with fines of $250 to $750 per day. Continued non-compliance can result in cease-and-desist orders, administrative adjudication, and injunctive action.
