For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating places of public accommodation or public buildings in Champaign should be aware that § 17-4.3 requires that single-sex facilities be accessible based on a person's gender identity. Compliant operators generally refrain from challenging or redirecting individuals seeking to use the facility that aligns with their gender identity, and they ensure that all single-user restrooms are designated as available to everyone. Reviewing signage, policies, and staff training to reflect these requirements is a common practice among operators seeking to meet this standard.
