Illinois statutes (ILCS) that govern community associations and override conflicting HOA rules. Source →
Common Interest Community Association Act (CICAA)
765 ILCS 160 governs non-condominium community associations. Per 765 ILCS 160/1-75(a), an association with 10 units or fewer, OR with annual budgeted assessments of $100,000 or less, is exempt unless it elects to be covered — so the Act applies to non-condo associations with at least 11 units AND over $100,000 in budgeted assessments. It covers board duties, elections (at least every 24 months), records, fines, and amendment/recording of declarations. A 'common interest community' expressly does NOT include a master association.
765 ILCS 605 governs condominium associations, including the Cambridge Lakes Condominiums sub-association. It sets board duties, owner rights, records access, and assessment/lien procedures for condos specifically (distinct from the CICAA that covers non-condo associations).
