Challenging to Investors
STRs are legally permitted under Illinois state law but the absence of specific Lincoln city ordinances creates regulatory uncertainty. The requirement for Illinois Department of Revenue registration, potential health department inspections for multi-unit properties, and typical local permit needs (though not detailed) add moderate compliance burdens. While occupancy rates and revenue potential are strong, the lack of clear local guidance and layered inspections elevate investor risk to a challenging level.
