Illinois HOA Governing Statute

1. Overview — How HOAs are governed in Illinois

Illinois runs two comprehensive statutes side by side, and together they govern nearly every residential community association in the state. The Common Interest Community Association Act — CICAA, codified at 765 ILCS 160 — governs the non-condominium associations: townhomes, villas, and single-family planned communities.1 The Condominium Property Act, codified at 765 ILCS 605, governs condominiums, and it arrived 47 years before CICAA did.2

CICAA took effect on July 29, 2010, under Public Act 96-1400.3 The Condominium Property Act goes back to 1963 (Laws 1963, p. 1120). Practitioners call it a "first-generation condo enabling statute," adopted after Section 234(c) of the National Housing Act became law in 1961. Many other states later moved on to second- or third-generation statutes; Illinois took a different path, updating the 1963 Act through targeted amendments rather than rewriting it wholesale.4

The two statutes share a lot of structure — both define association powers, set meeting and election procedures, impose financial and records duties, and authorize lien-based collection — but they govern legally distinct forms of property, and neither statute substitutes for the other.

What triggers CICAA is an opt-out exemption, not a flat unit count. Under Section 1-75, a non-condo association organized under the Illinois General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986 is exempt if it has either 10 or fewer units or annual budgeted assessments of $100,000 or less — unless its directors or members affirmatively vote to be covered.5 Larger associations are covered by default.

One more thing to keep straight: Illinois is not a Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA) state. The General Assembly built its own framework through repeated targeted amendments instead of adopting the uniform model. That puts Illinois in the comprehensive non-UCIOA category, alongside California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Virginia. So don't import UCIOA defaults — like deemed-rejection budget ratification — into an Illinois analysis. Here, the statutes mean what their text says, and what Illinois courts have held they mean.

2. The statutory framework

The Common Interest Community Association Act (CICAA)

CICAA is codified at 765 ILCS 160 and was enacted by Public Act 96-1400, taking effect July 29, 2010.3 Before CICAA, non-condo associations in Illinois ran mostly on their own declarations, the General Not For Profit Corporation Act, and a patchwork of provisions in the Forcible Entry and Detainer Act. The legislature passed CICAA to give planned communities, townhome associations, and similar non-condo forms a statutory baseline — the kind condominiums had enjoyed since the 1963 Condominium Property Act.

Article 1 carries the operative provisions. Section 1-5 defines a "common interest community" as "real estate other than a condominium or cooperative" in which owners must pay for maintenance, improvement, insurance premiums, or real estate taxes on common areas described in a declaration that an association administers.1 The definition excludes cooperatives and condominiums; whether a townhome counts as a common interest community or a condominium depends on how the recorded community instruments organized the real estate and the association.

CICAA's structure follows the life cycle of association governance. Section 1-25 covers elections, board composition, and proxies. Section 1-30 lists board duties. Section 1-40 governs meetings and notice. Section 1-45 sets budget, assessment, and reserve-disclosure obligations, and it requires associations of 100 or more units to use generally accepted accounting principles.6 Section 1-50 covers administration before the first owner-elected board, and Section 1-30(g) sets the notice-and-hearing protections that must come before any fine. Section 1-55 governs fidelity insurance. Section 1-75 holds the small-association exemption described above.5

Section 1-20 governs amendments to community instruments. An amendment is not valid until it is duly recorded — and where the community instruments require mortgagee or lienholder approval, the mortgagee is deemed to have consented unless it sends a negative response within 60 days of the association's certified-mail request.7

CICAA parts ways with UCIOA in a few mechanical respects. It contains no UCIOA-style deemed-rejection budget ratification procedure. It does not adopt UCIOA's six-month "super-priority" lien language word for word; instead, the comparable assessment-collection mechanics live in the Forcible Entry and Detainer Act (735 ILCS 5/9-102(a)(7)–(8)) and, for condominiums, in Section 9 of the Condominium Property Act. Section 1-15 makes the declaration and community instruments operative where CICAA permits variation, but CICAA controls wherever a conflict arises and the Act does not expressly defer.

The interaction between CICAA and recorded declarations matters in practice. Many declarations recorded before 2010 contain provisions that conflict with CICAA. Section 1-60(a) lets boards amend community instruments by a two-thirds board vote, without a membership vote, to correct an error, omission, or inconsistency and conform them to the Act or other applicable law.

The Condominium Property Act

The Condominium Property Act, 765 ILCS 605, became law in 1963 (Laws 1963, p. 1120), and the legislature has amended it in nearly every session since.4 The Act applies to all property submitted to its provisions by a recorded declaration, and submission is mandatory for property organized as a condominium.8

Section 2 holds the controlling definitions — "declaration," "unit," "common elements," "limited common elements," and "condominium instruments."8 Section 4 governs what the declaration must contain. Sections 9 and 9.2 address common-expense liens and remedies, including the association's right to bring an action for possession against a delinquent unit owner under the Forcible Entry and Detainer Act. Section 14.5 covers distressed condominium property.

Section 15 governs the sale of the entire property, and Section 18 sets out what the bylaws must contain — the meeting, notice, election, quorum, and board-conduct provisions that drive most day-to-day compliance work.9 Section 18.4 lists the powers and duties of the board of managers.

Other defined and operative terms worth knowing include "unit owner," "board of managers" (Section 18), "common elements" and "limited common elements" (Section 2(s)), and "acceptable technological means" (Section 2(z)), which authorizes electronic notice and voting once the board adopts enabling rules under Section 18.8.

Recent amendments cluster in four areas. First, the legislature amended the Section 22.1 resale disclosures effective January 1, 2023 — shortening the response window from 30 days to 10 business days, capping the disclosure fee at $375 (adjusted annually for CPI), and authorizing an additional $100 rush fee for 72-hour service.10

Second, Public Act 103-0719 (HB5502) amended Section 22.2 effective January 1, 2025 to bar associations from exercising any right of first refusal or option to purchase for a "discriminatory or otherwise unlawful purpose," and it created an express circuit-court cause of action for aggrieved purchasers.11

Third, Public Act 103-916 (SB2740), effective January 1, 2025, created a new Section 18.12 that requires condominium associations with parking facilities to adopt written accessible-parking policies by April 1, 2025.12

Fourth, Public Act 104-0580 (HB 67), effective January 1, 2027, adds 765 ILCS 160/1-73 to CICAA and Section 18.14 to the Condominium Property Act: an association may not designate a marked law-enforcement or firefighter vehicle assigned to an officer or firefighter as a commercial vehicle, as long as the vehicle does not exceed 12,000 pounds, and any provision to the contrary is void and unenforceable by operation of the statute, with no owner vote needed to cure it. The enacted text regulates that characterization only, not parking rights generally.13 The broader Senate bill, SB 1713, which would have reached all authorized emergency vehicles with no weight limit, died in the Senate Assignments Committee.14

The declaration supplements the Act but cannot override it. Section 4.1 establishes the order: where the declaration conflicts with the Act, the Act controls; where the bylaws or other condominium instruments conflict with the declaration, the declaration controls — unless the declaration is itself inconsistent with the Act.

The role of corporate law, declarations, and the Chicago municipal overlay

Most non-condo associations, and a good share of condominium associations, are incorporated as Illinois not-for-profit corporations under the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986, 805 ILCS 105.15 That Act supplies the default rules on corporate formation, director duties, member rights, indemnification, and dissolution — filling gaps that CICAA and the Condominium Property Act leave open. Where the two bodies of law conflict, the community association statute controls, because each contains an express supremacy clause for association governance.

Common-law contract and property doctrine stay in play, too. Illinois courts read declarations as contracts and apply the business judgment rule to discretionary board decisions. They review rule adoption under the standard from Apple II Condominium Ass'n v. Worth Bank & Trust Co., 277 Ill. App. 3d 345 (1st Dist. 1995): restrictions written into the declaration are presumed valid, while rules a board promulgates must be reasonable and consistent with the governing documents.16

At the municipal level, Chicago layers its own rules on top of the state framework through Chapter 13-72 of the Municipal Code of Chicago — the Chicago Condominium Ordinance.17 Chapter 13-72 imposes developer property-report and disclosure-summary obligations, conversion-condominium tenant-notice rules, and several consumer-protection provisions, all enforced by the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection. It is a developer- and conversion-focused ordinance; it does not create a Chicago-specific community association manager license.

Statewide manager licensing runs separately, under the Community Association Manager Licensing and Disciplinary Act, 225 ILCS 427, administered by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Under Section 15 of that Act, no one may provide community association management services to an Illinois association unless licensed or exempt; Section 20 exempts uncompensated directors and officers.18 Public Act 104-0746 moved the Act's scheduled repeal date from January 1, 2027 to January 1, 2032.

That leaves a clear order of precedence within each framework: (1) the governing statute — the Condominium Property Act for condos, CICAA for non-condo communities; (2) the recorded declaration; (3) recorded bylaws or operating agreement; (4) board-adopted rules and regulations; (5) the gap-filling provisions of the General Not For Profit Corporation Act for incorporated associations; and (6) common-law contract and property doctrine.

3. Compliance obligations created by the statutory framework

Governance obligations

Board meetings, annual unit-owner meetings, elections, and records inspection are the most heavily prescribed governance topics.

For condominiums, Section 18 of the Condominium Property Act requires the bylaws to provide for an annual meeting of unit owners; it requires board meetings to be open to all unit owners (with narrow statutory exceptions for litigation, employment, and delinquent-account discussion); it gives unit owners at least 48 hours' notice of every board meeting; and it requires the board's election procedures to meet enumerated requirements, including the ballot, proxy, and secret-ballot options under Sections 18(b)(9) and 18(b)(10).9 These provisions are mandatory, and a declaration cannot vary them.

For non-condo communities, CICAA imposes parallel rules: Section 1-25 sets election and proxy requirements, Section 1-40 sets meeting and notice obligations including the 48-hour rule, and Section 1-30 enumerates board duties.19 Boards must also produce records on written request — under Section 1-30(i) of CICAA and Section 19 of the Condominium Property Act — in each case within statutory timeframes (10 business days for most categories under recent amendments) and subject to limited redaction rights.

Financial obligations

Both statutes require an association to adopt an annual budget and give it to owners. Under Sections 18(a)(6) and 18(a)(8) of the Condominium Property Act, the board must deliver the proposed budget to unit owners at least 25 days before adoption, and owners can petition for a vote to reject any budget increase that exceeds 115% of the prior year's regular and separately billed assessments.9

CICAA Section 1-45 sets a parallel budget-disclosure regime for non-condo communities and requires associations of 100 or more units to use generally accepted accounting principles.6

Reserves are mandatory under Section 9(c) of the Condominium Property Act unless the association waives them by a two-thirds vote, with the waiver disclosed in the financial statements and in the Section 22.1 resale disclosures.20 CICAA Section 1-45 requires only that the proposed budget indicate the portions intended for reserves. Neither statute requires an independent audit; CICAA Section 1-45(b) allows a consolidated annual independent audit report in place of the itemized annual accounting. Both statutes let a declaration strengthen these provisions — but not weaken them.

Disclosure obligations

The signature disclosure obligation is Section 22.1 of the Condominium Property Act. It requires the selling unit owner to obtain specified documents from the association — the declaration, bylaws, rules, anticipated capital expenditures, status of reserves, insurance, pending litigation, and the like — and hand them to the prospective purchaser on demand. Under the amendments effective January 1, 2023, the association's principal officer must respond within 10 business days, the disclosure fee is capped at $375 (CPI-adjusted), and a $100 rush surcharge is allowed for 72-hour completion.10

In Channon v. Westward Management, Inc., 2022 IL 128040, the Illinois Supreme Court held that Section 22.1 does not create an implied private right of action for sellers against management agents who charge excessive fees; the General Assembly had already enacted the $375 fee cap in May 2022 (Public Act 102-0976, effective January 1, 2023).21 This obligation is mandatory, and a declaration cannot vary it.

CICAA puts parallel disclosure duties on non-condo associations under Section 1-35: the declaration, bylaws, rules, current operating budget, any reserve study, and a statement of unpaid assessments at the time of resale. And Section 22.2 of the Condominium Property Act, as amended effective January 1, 2025, bars associations from exercising any right of first refusal or option to purchase for a discriminatory or otherwise unlawful purpose, and it creates a circuit-court cause of action.11

Dispute resolution obligations

Illinois has a distinctive way of collecting delinquent condominium assessments: it runs through the Forcible Entry and Detainer Act, 735 ILCS 5/Article IX, working in tandem with Section 9.2 of the Condominium Property Act. Under 735 ILCS 5/9-102(a)(7), a condominium association can bring a forcible entry and detainer action against a delinquent unit owner to recover possession of the unit — which the association may then lease to recoup the assessments — and to win a money judgment.22

The demand notice under Section 9-104.1 must give the owner 30 days to cure, must spell out the assessments and time periods, and must meet attorney-fee disclosure requirements. After judgment, the association can obtain a money judgment under Section 9-111, enforceable like any other creditor's judgment, as the court confirmed in Board of Managers of Inverrary Condominium Ass'n v. Karaganis, 2017 IL App (2d) 160271. Lien foreclosure under Section 9(h) of the Condominium Property Act is the alternative remedy.

For non-condo communities, CICAA-subject associations have a similar possession remedy under 735 ILCS 5/9-102(a)(8) — but only where the declaration was recorded after 1985 (or the association has elected coverage) and the association meets the statutory prerequisites in Section 9-102.

Before any fine or possession action, both statutes require written notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard. CICAA Section 1-30(g) and Condominium Property Act Section 18.4(l) are mandatory, and a declaration cannot vary them. Section 32 of the Condominium Property Act authorizes alternative dispute resolution of certain disputes, but it does not require it.

Condominium accessible parking

This act amends the Condominium Property Act by creating a new Section 18.12. Condominium associations with parking facilities must adopt written accessible-parking policies and procedures, must process accessibility requests within 45 days, and must have the required policy in place by April 1, 2025 for existing associations.[12]

Court
Ill. App. 3d

A unit owner raised one room's ceiling by roughly 26 inches into the common-element ceiling space, without board approval. The Appellate Court affirmed summary judgment for the association, holding that limited common elements are a subset of common elements under Section 2 of the Condominium Property Act and cannot be altered unilaterally — and it upheld a $96,155.08 fee award.[24]

What this means, by role
Property managers Under the ruling, ceiling space above a unit was a common element; ceiling, floor, or wall cavity space is generally a common element unless the declaration says otherwise.
HOA board members The court enforced the declaration's written-approval requirement for owner alterations and upheld a significant fee award.
Community association attorneys The case extends Section 2(s)'s limited-common-elements treatment and supports robust injunctive and fee remedies.

The First District affirmed dismissal of wrongful-death and breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims after a child wandered off association property and drowned in an adjacent retention pond. The court held that the Section 18.4 fiduciary duty does not extend to open-and-obvious off-premises hazards.[26]

What this means, by role
Property managers The decision constrains, but doesn't eliminate, common-area premises-liability exposure; on-site hazard practices stay critical.
HOA board members Section 18.4's fiduciary duty has clearer outer boundaries, but on-premises hazards remain the board's responsibility.
Community association attorneys The opinion limits prior precedent to on-property damage claims and is a defense-favorable precedent for off-site hazard cases.
Homeowners Hazards adjacent to but outside common-element boundaries generally don't create association liability.

A further 2026 decision reaches mixed communities. In Bogot v. Haverford Homeowners Ass’n, 2026 IL App (1st) 250080 (May 22, 2026), a published First District opinion, the court held that an association exercising powers “for the benefit of the unit owners of one or more condominiums” is a master association under Section 18.5(a) of the Condominium Property Act, and that “the declaration’s own characterization that defendants are not a master association is immaterial”; CICAA does not require condominiums to be severed from a mixed association. The same opinion holds that equal per-unit assessments are not unconscionable where the association follows its own declaration, and that claims of misused association funds must be pleaded derivatively.27,28

The current General Assembly is weighing tougher reserve-study rules, and attorneys are watching the next statutory reauthorization as the likely vehicle for bigger changes.

HB2563 would require both CICAA and Condominium Property Act associations to conduct and update reserve studies every five years, with a small-association exemption for communities of 15 or fewer units. Its last action was a re-referral to the House Rules Committee on April 17, 2026, and it did not pass before the spring 2026 session adjourned.[29]

What this means, by role
Property managers The bill would have required a five-year reserve-study cycle; no such mandate is in force.
HOA board members Communities of 15 units or fewer would have been exempt; for larger associations the bill would have made a recurring reserve-study line item mandatory.
Community association attorneys The existing Section 1-45 and Section 9(c) reserve provisions remain the governing law.
Homeowners A reserve-study mandate would have given owners clearer visibility into whether the association is funding long-term repairs.

The Ombudsperson Act's repeal date is now January 1, 2029, under Public Act 104-0377.

Illinois sits in the comprehensive non-UCIOA category, alongside California (the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act), Florida (Chapters 718 and 720), Texas (Property Code Titles 11 and 12), Arizona (Title 33, Chapters 9 and 16), and Virginia (the Property Owners' Association Act and the Condominium Act).

What sets Illinois apart is a handful of features: CICAA is relatively new, enacted in 2010; the 1963 condominium statute is first-generation, amended many times but never recodified; the collection procedure is possession-based and runs through the Forcible Entry and Detainer Act rather than the condominium statute itself; manager licensing is statewide under 225 ILCS 427; and Chicago adds a municipal overlay (Chapter 13-72) of developer-disclosure and tenant-notice obligations on top of state law. California, Florida, and UCIOA procedures do not carry over directly into Illinois, where the Illinois statutes control.

6. Closing note

HOA Weekly updates its Illinois Governing Statute coverage every quarter, tracking amendments to CICAA, the Condominium Property Act, and the Chicago Condominium Ordinance, along with new rulings from the Illinois Appellate Court and the Illinois Supreme Court. Federal frameworks — including the Fair Housing Act and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act — apply in parallel, and HOA Weekly's federal HOA law coverage tracks each separately. The Corporate Transparency Act applies too, but not as an active filing burden: the current federal rule exempts a domestically incorporated Illinois not-for-profit corporation as a "domestic entity," so no beneficial-ownership report is due to FinCEN under the rule as it now stands.30
