Reminder: New Accessible Parking Requirements Take Effect January 1st

An amendment to the Illinois Condominium Property Act (“ICPA”) to impose new accessible parking requirements takes effect on January 1, 2025. The amendment (new Section 18.12 of the ICPA) requires Illinois condominium associations with parking to:

• adopt a policy to reasonably accommodate unit owners who require accessible parking by April 1, 2025; and

• “make reasonable efforts to facilitate a resolution between unit owners to provide accessible parking” in situations where the association does not “own or otherwise control parking that meets the accessible parking needs of a unit owner who is a person with a disability who requires accessible parking.”

It is recommended that condominium associations work with their legal counsel to ensure compliance with these new accessible parking requirements, including adopting a policy for accessible parking as required by new Section 18.12 of the ICPA by the April 1^st deadline.
