Tinley Park HOAs commonly require architectural review committee approval before exterior modifications. Associations must enforce architectural standards reasonably and in accordance with their recorded declarations.
Most HOAs in Tinley Park subdivisions require unit owners to submit exterior modification requests — including fences, decks, sheds, roof replacements, paint colors, solar panels, and landscape changes — to an architectural review committee (ARC) for approval before starting work. Associations must enforce standards fairly, following the procedures in their declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) and bylaws. Illinois law protects certain rights such as solar installations (765 ILCS 165 Homeowners' Solar Rights Act) from blanket prohibitions, though reasonable aesthetic standards may still apply. Village of Tinley Park building permits are required independently of ARC approval; owners must obtain both. Village inspections do not substitute for HOA compliance, and violations of CC&Rs can result in liens and fines enforced through state-court procedures.
Unauthorized modifications: HOA fines per CC&Rs ($50-$500/day typical), removal demands, liens. Solar blanket prohibitions may be unenforceable under 765 ILCS 165.
