Sauk Village Ch. 38 § 38-19 establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of the village's human relations ordinance. Depending on the type of violation—whether a general fair-housing breach under § 38-22, an unlawful solicitation under § 38-27, or an owner/agent violation under § 38-28—fines range from $25 to $500 per offense. Critically, each day a violation continues, or each individual act of unlawful solicitation, counts as a separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sauk Village Ch. 38 § 38-19, property owners and their agents face fines ranging from $25 to $500 for each offense tied to violations of §§ 38-22, 38-27, and 38-28. Compliant operators typically maintain accurate do-not-solicit lists, file required notices of intent to solicit, and ensure that solicitation activity conforms strictly to the time, place, and manner described in any filed notice. Because each day of a continuing violation constitutes a separate offense, operators generally act promptly to correct any identified noncompliance to avoid accumulating penalties.

Sauk Village Ch. 38 § 38-19 provides that residents who are subjected to unlawful solicitation—such as being contacted after placing their name on a do-not-solicit list—may have grounds to report a violation, with fines of up to $500 per incident available against the offending party. Tenants who believe their rights under §§ 38-22, 38-27, or 38-28 have been violated can document each incident, since each separate solicitation or each day of a continuing violation is treated as a distinct offense. Tenant-rights organizations and local village authorities are among the resources available to help residents understand their options under this provision.
