Forest Park Regulations
STRs are allowed but Forest Park relies on general rental rules; operators must obtain a rental license, pass annual inspections, and comply with health and safety codes—no dedicated STR caps or restrictions are mentioned. State use tax applies, and compliance is straightforward but still requires routine licensing, inspections, and insurance. HOAs can add constraints, but the absence of explicit citywide bans or hard caps makes the regime relatively investor-friendly.

About Forest Park
Forest Park (formerly Harlem) is a village in Cook County, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, United States. The population was 14,339 at the 2020 census. The Forest Park terminal on the CTA Blue Line is the line's western terminus, located on the Eisenhower Expressway at Des Plaines Avenue. This makes it one of just two municipalities served by the Chicago "L" train network that does not directly border Chicago (the other being Wilmette).
