Social Hosting Regulations
|
 |
|
|

Croton Community Coalition.
|
Social hosting for underage drinking has become a serious issue. This is when adults allow minors to consume alcohol during a private party that is under their supervision or that occurs on their property. There are legal consequences for allowing this to occur, as dictated by the State of Illinois, which can be found
here
.
At its most recent meeting, the Long Grove Village Board approved regulations on social hosting to include short-term rentals (oftentimes AirBNBs) so that residents who rent their homes to others are prohibited from allowing underage drinking parties to occur on the property, in addition to the hosts (renters) themselves. For questions, please call Village Hall at 847-634-9440.

Village of Long Grove, and either dropped off at Village Hall or mailed to the Village of Long Grove, 3110 Old McHenry Road, Long Grove, Illinois 60047.
