Doing business in Schaumburg

Schaumburg lies mostly in Cook County, with a portion in DuPage County. The village's 2025 financial report calls it the largest center of economic development in Illinois outside Chicago, with more than 12 million square feet of office space and the 2.7 million square foot Woodfield Mall. Zurich North America is headquartered here, and Motorola Solutions, School District 54 and Paylocity are among the larger employers. The same report notes that Wheels Inc. and ADP are moving into vacant space in the Zurich headquarters building and that Mizkan America is moving to Martingale Road.

The village's report points to office moves along Martingale Road and new development in the Woodfield area. Pace runs I-90 express buses from its Northwest Transportation Center near Woodfield Mall, and Metra's Milwaukee District West Line stops in the village. Roosevelt University also has a campus here. With insurance, payroll and technology employers this close together, print security and user tracking can matter as much as speed when choosing a copier.

Areas served around Schaumburg: Hoffman Estates, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village, Itasca, Roselle, Hanover Park, Streamwood, Bartlett, Elgin and Des Plaines.

What Schaumburg offices should know before leasing a copier

Public Act 103-592 changed Illinois lease taxation on January 1, 2025. Lessors are now retailers and collect sales tax on each payment. Before that, the leasing company generally paid tax on what it paid for the equipment.
The Cook and DuPage portions of Schaumburg carry different transit tax rates. Since August 1, 2026, the NITA tax (formerly RTA) is 1.25% in Cook County and 1% in DuPage. Because IDOR sources each payment to where the copier is kept, check which county your building is in.
The village collects its own home rule sales tax, listed among its main revenue sources in the 2025 financial report. Expect the combined rate on your lease to include it.
If your company also leases equipment for a Chicago office, that lease works differently. IDOR exempts property subject to Chicago's Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax from state and local sales tax on lease receipts, so the Chicago lease is taxed under the city's rules instead.

Schaumburg questions we hear

Our building near Woodfield is in Cook County. Does that change our lease tax?

Yes. Cook County addresses carry the higher 1.25% transit tax portion that took effect August 1, 2026, plus the village's home rule tax. A suite in Schaumburg's DuPage section pays the 1% transit rate instead. IDOR's Tax Rate Finder confirms the combined rate for an exact address.

We handle client financial records. What should we ask for on a Schaumburg copier lease?

Ask the partner dealer who serves Schaumburg about secure release printing, user codes and how the hard drive is wiped or returned at lease end. We include those questions in the quote request so the proposal covers them clearly instead of leaving them for after installation.

We have offices in Schaumburg and downtown Chicago. Can one lease cover both?

We can quote both, but the tax treatment splits. The Schaumburg copier follows state and local sales tax on lease payments, while the Chicago device falls under Chicago's lease transaction tax. We can help you compare both locations side by side before you sign.
