Crime Free Rental License Program: Payment and Registration Now Online!

The Carol Stream Police Department’s Crime Free Rental License Program now offers complete online payment and registration through the Village’s new Online Rental License Portal.

Access the portal here: Online Rental License Portal

This portal provides a streamlined, convenient, and secure experience for all rental property owners in Carol Stream. You can now manage your licensing requirements from start to finish—anytime, anywhere.

Through the Online Rental License Portal, you can:

  • Apply for a new rental license

  • Renew an existing rental license (available for future renewals; ALL applicants, even current license holders, must select "Request a New License" the first time using this new system)

  • Make secure online payments for rental licenses

  • Submit all Crime Free Multi-Housing Program documentation

  • Update property details and management contact information

We encourage all property owners and managers to use this new system to stay compliant and keep records organized with ease.

Important Notice for Current License Holders

Because the Online Rental License Portal is a new system, all property owners and managers must submit their information by selecting “Request A New License” at this time—even if the property was previously licensed. Please do not select “Renew Existing License” until next year, when renewal functionality will be available.

Final Steps to Obtain Your Rental License

  1. Log in to the Online Rental License Portal
    Create a new account if you are a first-time user or access your existing property profile.

  2. Complete the Rental License Application
    Ensure all property and owner/management contact information is accurate and up to date.

  3. Upload Your Required Crime Free Multi-Housing Documentation
    This includes class certificates, CPTED forms, or any additional compliance documents.

  4. Submit Secure Online Payment
    Payments can now be made directly through the portal for convenience and accuracy.

  5. Receive Confirmation
    Once all items are submitted and approved, your rental license will be issued electronically.
