Glen Ellyn — Title 7 Ch. 5 Rooming Houses § 7-5-4
License fee
Operative Text
The license fee required under this chapter shall be the sum of $0.50 per year for each person for whom lodging space is to be provided for compensation, the minimum license fee being $1.00.
Glen Ellyn Title 7, Chapter 5, Section 7-5-4 establishes the annual license fee structure for rooming houses operating in the village. The fee is calculated at $0.50 per year for each lodger the facility is licensed to accommodate, with a floor of $1.00 regardless of occupancy capacity. This is a relatively modest per-person fee tied directly to the number of lodging spaces offered for compensation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glen Ellyn § 7-5-4, operators of rooming houses calculate their annual license fee by multiplying $0.50 by the total number of lodging spaces they intend to rent out for compensation. Even if only one or two spaces are offered, the minimum fee owed is $1.00 per year. Compliant operators ensure their fee payment accurately reflects the full count of compensated lodging spaces at the time of license application or renewal.

Glen Ellyn § 7-5-4 governs the licensing fee that rooming house operators must pay to the village, which is based on the number of lodging spaces provided for compensation. While this provision directly regulates the operator rather than the tenant, a valid and properly calculated license is part of the rooming house's legal operating status. Tenants who have questions about whether their rooming house holds a current license may contact the Glen Ellyn village offices or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
