IL HB2999

Non-home rule counties, townships, and municipalities are prohibited from using zoning ordinances to ban or restrict industrialized residential structures and manufactured homes on residential property if the structures are compatible with the area's character, meet the same aesthetic requirements as other homes, and comply with exterior design standards

Local governments cannot restrict manufactured homes based on age, allowing pre-owned manufactured homes (previously titled and used as dwellings) to be installed on residentially-zoned property

Property owners or those with use rights may install and occupy pre-owned manufactured homes on their land if the homes meet the specified compatibility requirements

Counties, townships, and municipalities may establish health and safety standards and inspection programs for pre-owned manufactured homes being relocated, with immunity from liability for inspection-related claims

Home rule units retain their full zoning powers and are not subject to these restrictions
