Country Club Hills — Ch. 19 Fair Housing § 19.8.07
Limitations
Operative Text
This Article shall not be construed in any manner to limit any applicable Federal or State affirmative marketing requirements.
Section 19.8.07 of Country Club Hills Chapter 19 establishes that the fair housing article's provisions do not reduce or override any affirmative marketing obligations that may be imposed by federal or state law. In other words, if a broader duty exists under federal or state authority, that duty remains fully in effect regardless of what the local article says. The provision functions as a savings clause, preserving the reach of higher-level legal requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 19.8.07, property owners and managers operating in Country Club Hills must recognize that compliance with the local fair housing article does not exhaust their obligations. Affirmative marketing requirements imposed by federal programs — such as HUD-related requirements — or by Illinois state law continue to apply independently. Operators generally review all applicable layers of regulation to ensure their marketing and outreach practices satisfy every applicable standard.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 19.8.07 makes clear that tenants retain the full benefit of any federal or state affirmative marketing protections, even where the local article might otherwise seem to set a ceiling on requirements. If a tenant believes a housing provider has failed to meet federally or state-mandated affirmative marketing duties, that concern can be raised with the relevant oversight body — such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for federal fair housing matters — or explored with a tenant-rights organization familiar with Illinois housing law.
