West Dundee CHAPTER 27 LICENSING OF RENTAL PROPERTIES § 3-27-5
NOTICE OF VILLAGE CODE VIOLATIONS
Operative Text
A. By designating an authorized agent pursuant to the terms of Section 6-9-2 of this chapter, the Owner consents to receive any and all notices of Village code violations concerning the registered Building and all process in any court proceeding or administrative enforcement proceeding brought to enforce Village code provisions concerning the registered Building by service of the notice or process on the authorized agent until the Owner files an amended registration application or new annual registration application pursuant to the terms of this chapter. B. Any Owner who fails to register a Building pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall further be deemed to consent to receive, by posting at the Building, any and all notices of Village code violations and all process in an administrative proceeding brought to enforce Village code provisions concerning the Building. C. The terms of this chapter shall supersede any conflicting or contradictory notice provisions contained within this code. (Ord. 2025-09, 2-17-2025)
West Dundee § 3-27-5 establishes how official notices of Village code violations and legal process are delivered to rental property owners. When an owner has registered a building and named an authorized agent under this chapter, service on that agent counts as valid notice to the owner. If an owner has not registered the building at all, the Village may satisfy its notice obligation simply by posting the violation notice directly on the building itself, and this chapter's notice rules take precedence over any conflicting notice rules elsewhere in the Village code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under West Dundee § 3-27-5, compliant rental property operators keep their building registration current and ensure their designated authorized agent's contact information is accurate, because that agent is the official channel through which all Village code-violation notices and court or administrative process will be delivered. If an owner files an amended or new annual registration, the consent to serve the prior agent ends and the updated agent information takes effect. Owners who skip registration lose control over how they receive notices — the Village can satisfy its obligation by posting directly on the building, which may result in missed deadlines or unnoticed proceedings.

West Dundee § 3-27-5 is relevant to tenants because it governs how the Village delivers code-violation notices to building owners, which affects how quickly enforcement actions can move forward. If a tenant believes their building has unaddressed code violations, they may wish to check whether the building is properly registered, since an unregistered building triggers a different — and potentially less reliable — notice process for the owner. Tenants seeking to understand their options can contact the Village of West Dundee directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about the enforcement process under this chapter.
