Illinois imposes a state hotel/motel tax on short-term lodging rentals of less than 30 days. Schaumburg also levies a local hotel/motel tax. Short-term rental operators must collect and remit applicable taxes even for Airbnb or VRBO stays.
Short-term rentals of less than 30 consecutive days in Schaumburg are subject to the Illinois Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax (state level) and the Village of Schaumburg's local hotel/motel tax. The combined local hotel tax rate in Schaumburg applies to gross rental receipts. Platforms like Airbnb may collect and remit the state-level tax automatically, but the local hotel tax obligation remains with the operator unless the platform has a specific agreement with the Village. Since Schaumburg does not have a formal STR licensing program, operators may face both tax compliance requirements and zoning enforcement. Contact the Village Finance Department at (847) 895-4500 for tax registration and remittance requirements.
Failure to collect and remit hotel/motel taxes may result in back-tax assessments plus penalties and interest. The Illinois Department of Revenue handles state tax enforcement. The Village may pursue administrative adjudication for local tax non-compliance.
