(210 ILCS 115/5) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 715)
Sec. 5. Upon receipt of an application for a permit to construct a new mobile home park, an application for an original license to operate and maintain the same, or an application for a permit to alter a licensed mobile home park, the Department shall, if the park is, or the proposed park will be, in conformity with this Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Department pursuant thereto, issue a permit to construct, a permit to alter or an original license, as the case may be. If the application for a permit to construct, a permit to alter or an original license is declined, the Department shall give the reasons therefore in writing to the applicant; and if the objections can be corrected, the applicant may amend his application and re-submit it for approval.
If a permit to construct or a permit to alter a park has been issued, the applicant upon completion thereof shall notify the Department. The Department shall then inspect the park and, if completed in accordance with the approved plans, shall issue a license for the number of approved sites after receipt of the required fee.
A permit does not relieve the applicant from securing building permits in municipalities or counties having a building code, or from complying with any municipal or county zoning or other ordinance applicable thereto. Within 10 days of receiving an application for a permit to construct a new park or expand a licensed park, the Department shall send a copy thereof, by certified mail, to the county or municipality in which the proposed park is located. Construction for which the Department has issued a permit shall not commence until the applicant has received any required municipal or county building and zoning approvals. No license to operate and maintain a mobile home park shall be issued upon the Department's being notified, within 60 days of the mailing of the application to the municipality or county, as provided in this Section by a written certification from the municipal or county zoning board or commission of any municipality or county that such park is in violation of any municipal or county zoning or other ordinances and that such park was not in existence at the time of the passage of such municipal or county zoning or other ordinances. Upon certification from such municipal or county zoning board that such park has complied with the municipal or county zoning or other ordinances and other requirements of this Act have been met, such license shall be issued. Within ten days after such park has complied with the municipal or county zoning ordinance the municipal or county zoning board or commission shall certify such compliance to the Department. Provided, fees charged by such municipality or county for such permits shall not exceed the usual charge for the services provided by such municipality or county in connection with such permits.
