HOA and condominium boards in Skokie operate under Illinois state law — primarily the Condominium Property Act (765 ILCS 605) and the Common Interest Community Association Act (765 ILCS 160). The Village does not administer HOA governance disputes.
Homeowners and condominium associations throughout Skokie, including the many condo and townhome developments near Old Orchard and along Dempster, operate under Illinois state statutes rather than village regulation. The Condominium Property Act (765 ILCS 605) governs condo boards, requiring open board meetings (with some exceptions for personnel and litigation matters), annual meetings, and owner rights to inspect records. Common Interest Community Association Act (765 ILCS 160) covers townhome and master-planned HOAs. Boards must provide proper notice of meetings, adopt budgets with owner review, and follow bylaws regarding elections and special assessments. The Village of Skokie does not mediate HOA disputes — these are civil matters, often handled through arbitration or Cook County Circuit Court.
Not a village-enforced matter. Violations of state law may result in civil damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees through state courts.
