Under 765 ILCS 160/1-30, an Illinois common interest community board may levy and collect reasonable fines for rule violations, but only 'after notice and an opportunity to be heard.' The Act sets no dollar cap on fines; it sets due-process procedure instead.
Section 1-30(g) provides that the board 'shall have the power, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, to levy and collect reasonable fines from members or unit owners for violations of the declaration, bylaws, operating agreement, and rules and regulations of the common interest community association.' The statute requires that an owner first be given notice of the alleged violation and a chance to respond at a hearing before any fine is imposed; a fine levied without that process is improper. The Act does not specify a maximum fine amount, leaving 'reasonable' as the limit, and does not prescribe a separate appeal beyond the required hearing. Fine procedures are typically detailed further in the association's own rules.
There is no statutory dollar cap; fines must be 'reasonable.' A fine imposed without first giving the owner notice and an opportunity to be heard is invalid under 765 ILCS 160/1-30(g). Owners may dispute a fine at the required hearing and, if still aggrieved, in court.
