Generally Investor friendly
STRs are explicitly allowed under Des Plaines’ general rental license, with relatively low fees, simple documentation, and a single 4‑hour class, indicating friendliness. However, the city council is actively reviewing stricter rules that could impose caps and limits, creating regulatory uncertainty and a moderate compliance burden typical of B‑grade jurisdictions.
