City of Chicago – Government

Since January 1, 2025, the City of Chicago has transitioned to using 100% clean, renewable energy to power all City streetlights and 400+ City buildings – including O’Hare Airport, Midway Airport, Harold Washington Library, City Hall, and more.

Short-term rental companies like Airbnb have to follow the same rules as everyone else. To build a safer, more affordable Chicago, we will work to ensure that the industry is operating fairly for both residents and visitors.

Chicagoans can report their experiences with short-term rentals to the City by emailing [email protected].

Happy Juneteenth, Chicago.

Juneteenth is not just a commemoration of emancipation—it’s a reminder that freedom and justice must be made real by building a future where every Chicagoan, including every Black and Brown Chicagoan, has the opportunity to live a healthy, stable, and prosperous life.

Change is Home. Welcome to the newest addition in Chicago's skyline, the Barack Obama Presidential Center. Happy opening!
