Challenging to Investors
Elgin explicitly allows STRs but requires a Specific Use Permit through a two-step public hearing (Planning & Zoning and City Council) plus 200‑foot mailed notices, with building/life‑safety inspections and quarterly HOT filings; enforcement is active and ongoing ordinance updates may add restrictions, increasing uncertainty and compliance burden.
