West Dundee § 3-27-2 establishes an annual rental property licensing fee structure based on building size: $50 for a single rental unit, $125 for buildings with 2–6 units, and $20 per unit for buildings with more than six units. Fees are not prorated regardless of when in the year the application is filed. Owners who miss the December 31st payment deadline face a late charge equal to double the standard registration fee. Once a complete application and payment are received, the Director issues a license confirming compliance with the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under West Dundee § 3-27-2, compliant rental property operators submit their annual license application along with the appropriate fee — determined by building size — before the December 31st deadline each year. Missing that deadline triggers an automatic late charge of double the original fee, so timely filing is a standard part of annual compliance calendars. Operators also keep registration information current by filing an amended registration within 21 business days of any change, at no additional cost, as required by § 3-27-3.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
West Dundee § 3-27-2 requires that your landlord hold a valid annual rental property license issued by the Department, which serves as confirmation that the building is registered in compliance with Chapter 27. If a landlord has failed to obtain or renew this license, that non-compliance may be relevant to tenant-rights discussions or local enforcement proceedings. Tenants who believe their building is unlicensed can contact the West Dundee Department that administers this chapter or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
