Elk Grove Village CHAPTER 15: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL UNITS/CRIME FREE HOUSING § 3-15-8
RENTAL LICENSE FEES
Operative Text
A. Annual License Fees: See Section 3-1-6 of this Title. B. Inspection Fees: 1. Initial Inspection: Initial inspection included in the license fee. 2. Reinspections: There is hereby established reinspection fees with respect to rental housing dwellings. Reinspection shall be conducted, as necessary, after each compliance date set forth in the inspection report. The first reinspection fee and all subsequent reinspections necessitated by the continued existence of violations shall be as set forth in Section 3-1-6 of this Title. No license or renewal license shall be issued unless all fees and costs of inspections are paid in full. C. Late Charges: 1. Late charges for license fees and reinspection fees shall be fifty percent (50%) of the original amount due provided that late charges will not be assessed within the first thirty (30) days after the due date.
Section 3-15-8 of Elk Grove Village's residential rental regulations establishes the fee structure for rental housing licenses and inspections. Initial inspections are bundled into the license fee, but any reinspections required because violations remain uncorrected carry additional fees set by Section 3-1-6. No license or renewal can be issued until all fees and inspection costs are paid in full, and fees not paid within 30 days of their due date are subject to a 50% late charge on the original amount owed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-15-8, compliant rental operators in Elk Grove Village keep their license fees and any reinspection fees current, since a license or renewal will not be issued while any fees remain outstanding. Reinspection fees are triggered each time a compliance deadline passes with violations still present, so operators who resolve deficiencies promptly before reinspection dates generally avoid accumulating those additional costs. Paying all amounts within 30 days of the due date is how operators avoid the 50% late charge established by this section.

Section 3-15-8 is part of Elk Grove Village's framework for ensuring rental units are inspected and licensed, which provides tenants with a baseline assurance that their unit has been subject to municipal oversight. Tenants can check whether a landlord's license is current, since § 3-15-8 prohibits issuance or renewal of a license when fees and inspection costs are unpaid — an unlicensed status may be relevant information when raising concerns about housing conditions. Tenant-rights organizations or the Elk Grove Village municipal offices can help residents understand how the licensing and inspection process connects to their rights as renters.
