Illinois Ch. 765 ILCS 160
Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act (765 ILCS 160)Governs Illinois common interest communities other than condominiums and cooperatives -- typically townhome, villa, and single-family-home associations whose owners must pay for shared common areas under a recorded declaration administered by an association (765 ILCS 160). Covers definitions, applicability, board elections and voting, board duties and records, member rights and resale disclosure, meetings and quorum, and finances and budgets. The Act does not create its own recorded-lien or power-of-sale foreclosure mechanism; associations collect unpaid assessments through the courts, including the possession remedy under the Eviction Article of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/Art. IX). No non-judicial power of sale is conferred.Official source

Common Elements is the platform for the community association industry, centered on the associations themselves: the record of each association, the people and professionals who live in, run, manage, and serve them, and the tools, data, and education they use to work together. It complements the management and accounting software you already use; it does not replace it.
Look up a Illinois community association to see its public record alongside the statutes that apply to it.
