Augustana College area — Rock Island published short-term-rental rule, 2026 S-72
Rock Island’s published Appendix A §11.16 applies to dwellings and rooms in residential and mixed-use properties rented for fewer than 30 days, excluding hotels, motels and similar lodging, with or without a digital booking platform. It lists STRs as permitted uses in residential/business zoning districts and special uses in other districts. In residential zoning districts, each rental unit must have at least one off-street parking spot and the operator must live in Rock Island or within 10 miles of its periphery. The published rule requires an initial health/safety inspection and license, with annual March 1 renewal contingent on reinspection within the preceding 30 days, and a $100 annual license fee. Licenses may be revoked for violating their terms. Signage is limited to one square foot.
Published code version 2026 S-72; overview states codification through Ordinance 124-2025, passed December 15, 2025. The publisher warns the posted code may omit newer legislation and is not definitive authority. No later uncodified amendments, current fee schedule or individual parcel eligibility were independently established. The 10-mile operator-residency condition and one-space-per-unit condition quoted here apply specifically in residential zoning districts. This Illinois rule does not apply to Iowa properties marketed near Augustana.
