Illinois Administrative Code › Title 77 - PUBLIC HEALTH › Part 860 - MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITY CODE › Subpart E - ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION BY THE DEPARTMENT › Appendix C - Unlicensed Motor Vehicles

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Section
				  860.310(d)
				  of the Manufactured Home Community Code prohibits unlicensed vehicles in
				  manufactured home community. This includes cars, trucks, motorcycles and
				  trailers. While it is the manufactured home community owner's responsibility to
				  assure compliance with this requirement, the manufactured home community owner
				  may have legal difficulties in getting an unlicensed vehicle either licensed or
				  removed within the time period allotted by the Department (usually 30 days).
				  The Department recognizes this problem and encourages an investigation into the
				  following possibilities.
1. The rules of the particular manufactured home
				  community should prohibit unlicensed vehicles from being located in the
				  manufactured home community and contain language that allows the manufactured
				  home community owner to have unlicensed vehicles towed at the owner's expense
				  after seven days written notice is provided. The resident should sign an
				  acknowledgment and agreement to the rules.
2. Effective January 1, 1988, the local
				  governmental jurisdiction has the authority to adopt an ordinance to permit it
				  to tow inoperable motor vehicles and their parts after seven days written
				  notification to the owner. Manufactured home community owners should encourage
				  local jurisdictions to adopt such an ordinance and then advise the authorities
				  when enforcement action needs to be initiated by the local authorities. The
				  language describing this authority is contained in three particular laws for
				  municipalities [65 ILCS 5/11-40 -3], for counties [55 ILCS
				  5/5-1092 ] and for townships [60 ILCS
				  1/30-130 ]. This pertains only to inoperable vehicles
				  but includes those on both public and private property.
3. Section 4-203 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
				  [625
				  ILCS 5/4-203 ] contains provisions that allow a
				  manufactured home community owner to immediately tow an unlicensed vehicle if
				  the owner has a sign posted as specified in the Illinois Vehicle Code.
4. The American Lung Association has a Vehicle
				  Donation Program. For more information contact the American Lung Association,
				  Vehicle Donation Program, #1 Christmas Seal Drive, P.O. Box 2576, Springfield,
				  Illinois 62708-2576, or call 1-800-583-4425.
5. The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois,
				  Inc. has a car donation program. Call 1-800-488-CARS for details.
