Even where STRs are not authorized, Illinois imposes a state Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax on rentals under 30 days, and Tinley Park levies a local hotel/motel tax on gross lodging receipts. Platforms like Airbnb may collect state tax automatically; local tax remains the operator's responsibility.
Tinley Park has not adopted an STR licensing fee structure because STRs are generally not permitted as a residential use. However, rentals of fewer than 30 consecutive days are subject to the Illinois Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax (administered by the Illinois Department of Revenue) and a local Tinley Park hotel/motel tax on gross lodging receipts. Airbnb and similar platforms typically collect the state hotel tax automatically, but local hotel tax obligations may remain with the operator unless a specific platform collection agreement is in place. Contact the Tinley Park Finance Department at (708) 444-5000 to confirm local tax registration and remittance. Note that tax compliance does not authorize an otherwise-unpermitted STR.
Unpaid hotel tax triggers back-tax assessments with interest and penalties at both the state and Village level. Separately, unpermitted STRs remain subject to zoning fines of $250 to $750 per day regardless of tax status.
