Le Roy, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-5
Certificate of Compliance Application (Le Roy Rental Housing Inspection and Certification Ordinance)
Operative Text
[ 3-4-2024 by Ord. No. 24-03-02-53 ] A. Owners shall complete a certificate of compliance application on a form provided by the City and provide all other information reasonably requested by the City. At a minimum, owners shall provide the following information for each residential rental property: 1. Owner's legal name, home and business address, home, business, and mobile telephone numbers, and email address; 2. Property agent's legal name, business address, business and mobile telephone numbers, and email address; 3. The address of the residential rental property; 4. The residential rental property's square footage; 5. The legal name of each residential rental property's occupant; and 6. The application and inspection fee listed in Section 9-7-3. B. An owner shall submit a revised application to the City within 30 days of any modifications to the information the owner previously provided on a certificate of compliance application. C. Applications for certificates of compliance shall be filed within 120 days of the effective date of this chapter. Thereafter, applications for certificates of compliance shall be filed at least 30 days before the certificate of compliance's expiration. D. Each certificate of compliance shall contain the certificate's date of issuance, the owner's name, and the address of the residential rental property that the certificate of compliance covers. E. Owners that fail to submit a certificate of compliance application in accordance with the timeframes set forth in this section shall be required to pay an application and inspection fee equaling 200% of the application and inspection fee listed in Section 9-7-3. F. The City may issue a temporary certificate of compliance when, in the opinion of the Code Official, none of the violations observed threaten life-safety or health. A temporary certificate of compliance may only be issued after the owner deposits with the city a cash bond or cashier's check payable to the City in the amount of $500. The City will retain the owner's cash bond or cashier's check until the Code Official reinspects the property, determines Code compliance, and issues a certificate of compliance. Temporary certificates of compliance shall expire no later than 60 days after issuance.
Le Roy Municipal Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-5 establishes the application process for certificates of compliance that residential rental property owners must obtain from the City. Owners must submit a detailed form covering owner and agent contact information, property details, and applicable fees, and must file updates within 30 days whenever that information changes. Initial applications were due within 120 days of the chapter's effective date, and renewals must be filed at least 30 days before a certificate expires. Owners who miss these deadlines face a doubled application and inspection fee, and a temporary certificate—valid up to 60 days—may be issued for properties with non-life-safety violations upon deposit of a $500 cash bond or cashier's check.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Le Roy Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-5, compliant operators keep their certificate of compliance application current by submitting the City-provided form with complete owner and agent contact details, property address, square footage, occupant names, and the required fee. When any of that information changes, operators submit a revised application within 30 days, and they file renewal applications at least 30 days before the current certificate expires to avoid the 200% penalty fee. Operators who cannot achieve full code compliance before a deadline may explore the temporary certificate option, which requires a $500 cash bond or cashier's check and is valid for no more than 60 days while outstanding non-life-safety violations are corrected.

Le Roy Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-5 requires that residential rental properties in Le Roy hold a valid certificate of compliance, which signals that the City has reviewed the property and its owner's registration information. Tenants can ask their landlord or the City whether a current certificate of compliance is on file for their rental unit, since an absent or lapsed certificate may indicate the property has not been inspected as required. Tenants who have concerns about compliance may contact the City's Code Official, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or explore other general enforcement paths available under the municipal code.
