West Dundee CHAPTER 27 § 3-27-9 establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of the village's rental property registration requirements. Operating without a certificate of registration, submitting false information on a registration statement, or otherwise violating the chapter's terms each constitute separate offenses that can accrue on a daily basis. Fines range from $100 to $750 per violation per day, and any unpaid fines become debts owed to the Village that may be collected through legal means, including placing a lien on the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under West Dundee CHAPTER 27 § 3-27-9, compliant rental property operators ensure their certificate of registration is obtained and kept current before any lapse triggers daily fines of up to $750. Operators also take care that all information submitted on registration and amended registration statements is accurate and complete, since intentional false filings carry fines starting at $100 per day until corrected. Because unpaid penalties can result in a lien being filed against the building itself, diligent record-keeping and prompt correction of any errors are practices associated with compliance under this chapter.

West Dundee CHAPTER 27 § 3-27-9 gives tenants context for understanding whether their landlord is operating in compliance with the village's rental registration requirements. If a landlord has not obtained a valid certificate of registration or has submitted false information on a registration statement, those are violations subject to daily fines under this provision. Tenants who believe their landlord may be out of compliance can contact the Village of West Dundee directly to inquire about registration status, or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
