Summary
HOA and condo assessments in Skokie are governed by association bylaws and Illinois state law. Special assessments require proper notice and board approval, and unpaid assessments may result in liens and foreclosure.
Sec. 9. Sharing of expenses - Lien for nonpayment.
(a) All common expenses incurred or accrued prior to the first conveyance of a unit shall be paid by the developer, and during this period no common expense assessment shall be payable to the association. It shall be the duty of each unit owner including the developer to pay his proportionate share of the common expenses commencing with the first conveyance. The proportionate share shall be in the same ratio as his percentage of ownership in the common elements set forth in the declaration.
(b) The condominium instruments may provide that common expenses for insurance premiums be assessed on a basis reflecting increased charges for coverage on certain units.

Full Breakdown
Condominium and HOA assessments in Skokie are collected under the association's declarations and Illinois state statutes. Boards adopt annual budgets (with owner review rights) and set regular monthly or quarterly assessments to fund operations and reserves. Special assessments for capital projects generally require board approval with proper notice; some significant special assessments may require owner votes depending on bylaws. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and become liens against the owner's unit. Under the Illinois Condominium Property Act, associations may pursue judicial foreclosure, and in some cases collect rent directly from tenants of delinquent owners. The Village of Skokie does not administer assessments but does collect property taxes, which are separate from HOA assessments.
Violations & Fines
Not a village-enforced matter. Delinquent owners face late fees, interest, liens, legal fees, and potential foreclosure through civil court.
