Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
condo assessments
Can the owners in a condo buliding change the assessment structure in the condo declaration? There is a disproportionate system which has been in place since the conversion of the building. The current system is not based on square footage or unit value. Can the assessment responsibilities be adjusted?

Re: condo assessments
Hello and Happy New Year. In my opinion the language of the bylaws
will determine whether the owners can
act in this way. Generally this should be known at the time of the
conversion. Condos can present some
rather awkward problems and it is
necessary to have a lawyer on board
regularly to insure a smooth operation. I will be happy to discuss
this further and in more detail.
