IL Chapter 765 ILCS 605
Governs property submitted to the condominium form of ownership in Illinois under 765 ILCS 605. Covers definitions, sharing of common expenses and the assessment lien (with judicial foreclosure in the same manner as a mortgage), powers and duties of the board of managers, master associations, association records and member examination rights, and the resale disclosure a unit owner must furnish a prospective purchaser.
Official sourceIL Chapter 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.
