Palos Hills — Ch. 15.56 Residential Condominium Conversions § 15.56.060
Certificate of occupancy
Operative Text
Once a certificate of occupancy has been issued, a new certificate of occupancy is not necessary for the resale of any unit for which a certificate of occupancy has been previously issued. A new certificate of occupancy is not necessary if a condominium unit was sold prior to the effective date of this chapter.
Under Palos Hills Ch. 15.56 § 15.56.060, once a certificate of occupancy has been issued for a condominium unit, that certificate carries forward and does not need to be reissued when the unit is later resold. Additionally, units that were sold before this chapter took effect are exempt from any certificate of occupancy requirement under this provision. The rule is designed to avoid redundant permitting burdens for units that have already been certified.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.56.060, property owners and managers involved in condominium conversions in Palos Hills should be aware that a previously issued certificate of occupancy remains valid through subsequent resales of the same unit. Operators generally maintain records of any existing certificates of occupancy to demonstrate compliance during future transactions. Units sold before this chapter's effective date are also exempt, so documenting the timing of prior sales can be a routine part of record-keeping for converted properties.

Section 15.56.060 of the Palos Hills Residential Condominium Conversions chapter clarifies that tenants purchasing or occupying a resold condominium unit are not required to obtain a new certificate of occupancy if one was previously issued for that unit. Tenants in units sold before this chapter's effective date are similarly unaffected by its certificate requirements. Those with questions about whether a valid certificate of occupancy exists for a specific unit may consult local municipal offices or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Palos Hills regulations.
