Illinois HB5167 allows townships to cut weeds, trim trees, remove nuisance bushes, or maintain ponds on residential properties after notifying owners.
HB5167 amends the Township Code to allow townships to cut weeds, trim trees, remove nuisance bushes, or maintain ponds on residential properties. The township must notify the property owner or association by certified mail, personal service, or posting the notice on the property at least 7 days in advance. The township can file a lien on the property if the owner does not pay for the services within 60 days. The lien is superior to other liens except tax liens. The township can also institute a civil action to recover the amount owed.
