Illinois Condo/COOP appeal is a process used by Illinois condominium and cooperative owners to challenge the decisions of their respective boards of directors. This legal process allows owners to dispute decisions related to assessments, maintenance fees, special assessments, rules, regulations, and other matters related to the management of the property. There are three types of Illinois Condo/COOP Appeal: Administrative Review Appeal, Judicial Review Appeal, and Declaratory Judgement Appeal. Administrative Review Appeal is a process that allows owners to appeal decisions made by their respective condo/coop board of directors to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (ID FPR). This type of appeal must be filed within 28 days of the board's decision. Judicial Review Appeal is a process that allows owners to appeal decisions made by their respective condo/coop board of directors to the Circuit Court of the county where the property is located. This type of appeal must be filed within 35 days of the board's decision. Declaratory Judgement Appeal is a process that allows owners to essentially sue their respective condo/coop board of directors. This type of appeal allows owners to seek a court order that declares a certain action or inaction of the board to be unlawful or valid. This type of appeal must be filed within 2 years of the board's decision.
