Sauk Village Code § 38-28 establishes a registration requirement for residential property owners and their agents whenever a dwelling is listed or advertised for sale or rental within the village. Within five days of listing, advertising, or hiring an agent—whichever comes first—a formal notice of intent must be filed with the village clerk using the form approved by the village board. The notice must include contact information for the owner and any agent or broker, as well as the property address and whether it is being offered for sale or rent. Notably, this filed notice is treated as a privileged document and is not open to public inspection or reproduction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sauk Village Code § 38-28, compliant property owners and their agents file a notice of intent to sell or rent with the village clerk within five days of the earliest triggering event—listing, advertising, or engaging an agent. Operators generally keep records of when a property is first listed or an agent is hired so the five-day window can be tracked accurately. The notice must be submitted on the form prescribed by the village board and include the owner's contact information, any agent or broker's contact information, the property address, and whether the property is for sale or rent.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Sauk Village Code § 38-28 requires that owners or their agents register with the village clerk before or very shortly after a dwelling is put on the market, which creates a baseline record of who is responsible for a given property. If a tenant has concerns about whether a landlord or agent complied with this filing requirement, that information may be relevant to broader questions about the owner's adherence to local housing rules. Because the notice itself is a privileged document under § 38-28(d) and not available for public inspection, tenants seeking related information may wish to contact the village directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Sauk Village ordinances.
