765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 6.30
Bylaws of homeowners' associations
Operative Text
Bylaws of homeowners' associations. (a) The directors of the association and the operation shall be governed by the bylaws. (b) The bylaws shall provide and, if they do not, shall be deemed to include, the following provisions: (1) The form of administration of the association shall be described, providing for the titles of the officers and for a board of directors and specifying the powers, duties, manner of selection and removal, and compensation, if any, of officers and board members. Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, the board of directors shall be composed of 5 members. The board of directors shall elect a president, secretary, and treasurer who shall perform the duties of those offices customarily performed by officers of corporations, and these officers shall serve without compensation and at the pleasure of the board of directors. The board of directors may elect and designate other officers and grant them those duties it deems appropriate.(2) All other administrative and governance requirements to be included in the bylaws shall be as set forth in the Common Interest Community Association Act.
Section 745 § 6.30 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes establishes that a manufactured home park homeowners' association must be governed by its bylaws, and that certain provisions are automatically deemed included in those bylaws even if not explicitly written. The rule specifies a default governance structure: a five-member board of directors that elects a president, secretary, and treasurer, all of whom serve without pay and at the board's discretion. Any additional administrative and governance requirements are governed by the Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a park owner or operator subject to 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 6.30, compliant operators ensure that the association's bylaws clearly describe the form of administration, officer titles, board composition, and the powers and duties of each role. Where bylaws are silent on these matters, the statute's default provisions—including a five-member board and unpaid officers—automatically apply, so operators generally review their governing documents to confirm alignment with the statute. Additional governance obligations are cross-referenced in the Common Interest Community Association Act, which compliant operators also consult when structuring association administration.

Residents of a manufactured home park covered by 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 6.30 have a right to an association governed by bylaws that meet the statute's minimum requirements, including a defined board structure and officer roles. If an association appears to be operating without proper bylaws or outside the governance framework the statute requires, residents can request to review the association's governing documents, which they are generally entitled to inspect. Tenant-rights organizations, legal aid services, or the Illinois Attorney General's office can be consulted to understand available options when an association's governance does not appear to comply with this provision.
