Hanover Park — Ch. 82 Rental Residential Housing Code § 82-10

(a) License fees. Each application for a license shall be accompanied by a license fee of $75.00 per rental residential dwelling unit in a multiple-unit building and $100.00 for a single-unit dwelling. The license fee shall be paid prior to the beginning of that rental residential property's license year.
(1) If the license fee is not paid before the beginning of the license year, the fee is delinquent, and the delinquent license fee shall be increased by an additional $50.00 if paid within 30 days from the beginning of the license year.
(2) If the delinquent license fee is not paid within 30 days of the beginning of the license year, then the delinquent license fee, a $25.00 administrative fee, and interest at six percent per annum shall become a lien upon the property after notice as provided in subsection (c) of this Section.
(b) Inspection fees. No inspection fee other than the license fee provided in subsection (a) of this section shall be charged for the first inspection made upon application for issuance or renewal of a license or one re-inspection, except a fee shall be charged for a second inspection for a single-unit dwelling to determine if violations cited in the first inspection have been corrected. If any rental residential dwelling unit fails at the second inspection, then a re-inspection fee shall be charged for multiple-unit buildings and a further re-inspection fee shall be charged for a single-unit dwelling. Every failed second inspection and every third or subsequent inspection required thereafter to determine if a violation has been corrected, a re-inspection fee shall be charged of $75.00 per rental residential dwelling unit or for the common exterior area. If any second inspection fee is not paid within 30 days of the inspection or third or subsequent inspection fee not paid prior to the inspection, then the inspection fee, a $25.00 administrative fee, and interest at six percent shall become a lien upon the property after notice as provided in subsection (c) of this section and shall be cause for revocation or suspension of the rental residential license.
(c) Inspection cancellation fees. An owner shall be permitted to reschedule one appointment per building per license year if notice is given to the village code official scheduled to conduct the inspection at least 24 hours before that inspection. If the owner fails to attend a scheduled inspection or cancels a scheduled inspection with less than 24 hours' notice, a $100.00 rescheduling fee shall be paid prior to the issuance of the license.
(d) Notice. Notice shall be given to the owner of the property or taxpayer of record by personal service or certified mail advising of the delinquent fees and penalties, and that if not paid within 30 days they shall become a lien upon the property.
(e) Lien. If the delinquent fees and penalties are not paid, that amount shall become a lien on the property upon the filing of a notice of lien in the office of the recorder in the county in which the real estate is located. Such lien shall not be valid as to any purchaser whose rights in and to such property have arisen prior to the filing of such notice of lien.
