[Adopted 7-27-2009 by Ord. No. 2009-30; amended in its entirety 3-9-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-06]
The Village has adopted regulations and requirements relating to its potable water system, the management of stormwater, and the collection and treatment of sewage in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. The Village has also adopted regulations and requirements related to land uses, construction, and the development of property in order to protect and preserve property values, the character of the Village, and otherwise promote the public health, safety, and welfare. It is the intended purpose of this Article
I of Chapter
175 of this Code to establish a compliance inspection program to be conducted in conjunction with the transfer of real property interests in order to assist in ensuring that the regulations and requirements relating to water, stormwater management, and sewage and general development regulations are abided by so that the protection and promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare can be better achieved.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE
A certificate signifying that the premises have satisfied
the compliance inspection with respect to the Village ordinances and
development regulations as of the inspection date.
CONDITIONS OF NONCOMPLIANCE
Any outstanding fees, charges, rates, penalties, fines, obligations,
liabilities, permits, inspections, or violations relating to the premises.
RECIPIENT
The person to whom or entity to which the premises are to
be transferred.
SUBDIVISION
See definition in §
205-2A of this Code, even if the transfer may be exempt from platting under 745 ILCS 205/1(b) (the Plat Act).
TRANSFER
A grant, conveyance, or transfer of interest in real property
within the Village for which a transfer declaration is required pursuant
to 35 ILCS 300/31-1 et seq., or any subdivision that results in a
change in legal or equitable ownership.
In the absence of a transfer notice and issuance of a compliance
certificate, the transferor will remain liable for any and all conditions
of noncompliance accrued under the Village ordinances and development
regulations prior to the transfer that involve outstanding payments
or penalties. If, however, there is a valid compliance certificate
as of the closing date of a transfer, then the transferor will be
deemed to have no responsibility for any conditions of noncompliance
identified after the date of the transfer.
Fees for the initial compliance inspection and for any follow-up
compliance inspection shall be as set forth in the Bannockburn Fee
Schedule. Such fees shall be paid prior to issuance of any compliance
certificate.
The Village Manager may establish such regulations and forms
that are necessary or convenient in the implementation of this article.
Such regulations may include time periods within which transfer notices
must be submitted and within which conditions of noncompliance must
be corrected.
