Rock Island County, IL HOA Rules: Board Procedures (2026)

272 puts the annual budget and assessment cycle on the Board of Directors: the Board must adopt a budget by January 1 and levy the resulting assessment on every improved lot by February 1, with payment due by May 1. 3, captioned "Notice and Quorum for Any Action Authorized Under Section 3," governs how the Board calls the meeting where that budget and assessment are set: written notice must go to every member not less than 15 nor more than 30 days before the meeting.

A quorum at that first meeting is the presence of members or proxies holding 50% of the votes of each class of membership. If that quorum fails to appear, the Board may call a second meeting under the same notice rule, but the quorum required there drops to half of what the first meeting required, and no such follow-up meeting can be held more than 60 days after the meeting it follows. 5 separately requires the Board to fix each lot's assessment amount at least 30 days before the assessment period begins and to send every owner written notice of the amount before it is due.

1 gives the Association, or any individual lot owner, the right to go to court to enforce these procedures and the covenant's other terms, so a Board that skips the notice or quorum steps can be challenged in a Rock Island County circuit court action rather than through a county administrative process.
