Here's what South Holland requires of investors buying, rehabbing, and renting there, taken from the village's own code, and how we fit in.

Checked against South Holland's own website and forms on 2026-09-22. Rules and fees change; confirm with the village before you rely on them.
Clearing the sale
South Holland's code doesn't require a point-of-sale inspection. Instead, no property can be sold until the village confirms its water, grass-cutting, ambulance, property-maintenance charges and unpaid judgments are paid, through a Certificate of Payment. Apply at least three business days before the transfer.
Renting it out
Rentals need an annual license, and the village inspects them every three years. Short-term rentals are prohibited. For buy-and-hold investors, that means a rental you rehab now will see a village inspector on a regular cycle: build to that standard the first time.
What else to plan for
Property taxes after the rehab. Cook County is reassessing the south and west suburbs in 2026, and the Assessor reviews municipal building permits to decide whether work is likely to change a property's value. Build a post-rehab tax estimate into your numbers.
Contractors post a bond with the village. South Holland's code requires contractors working in the village to post a bond and hold a village license. We handle the village's contractor requirements and permits as part of the job.
