For Property Managers

Developers and property managers involved in new or conversion condominium projects in Evanston should be aware that § 5-4-1-6 requires a $150-per-unit application fee at the time of application, on top of any other fees that may apply. This fee is distinct from resale transactions by individual unit owners, which are not subject to it. Compliant operators typically ensure that the correct fee is submitted with their application and that they are prepared to cooperate with any regulations the city manager may issue under this chapter.
